Two distinct paths, each offering its own allure. On the one hand, there's the energy of a lively party, with an array of freshly made beers accompanied by the rhythms of a popular rock band. On the other hand, you can relax overlooking the expanse of the bay as you indulge in the rich flavors of fine wine, all while being serenaded by jazz music. So, which path will you choose?

The choices here are obvious. It's going to be a strolling, shopping, wine day. Will it be in Antioch, Lafayette, or Rodeo? The best wine deal is in Antioch with many local wineries represented, but the allure of the sea also beckons me...
