Steeped In Tradition ~ Contemporary Flair
Crush Winehouse was born from a dream, a lot of passion, and the inspiration of the traditional Italian wine bar. Like many wine bars scattered throughout the Italian countryside, the family owned social spots serve as the gathering place for local residents and tourists alike. Bob Laggini and Janet Besanceney created Crush Winehouse to emulate the flavor of these intimate European wine bars. The ambiance in the lounge is warm, the setting is intimate, and the servers treat guests more like family than patrons.
A Special Emphasis On Italian
Bob's Italian heritage has influenced his personal wine collection and made the emphasis on Italian wines a natural choice. More than half of the wines featured, however, represent regions from around the world. Each selection is tasted and approved by Bob and Janet before it is allowed to be served at Crush.
Our Wines Are Available For Retail Purchase
Crush is the only wine bar in Annapolis offering retail sales of all of our wines, essentially allowing customers a ‘try-before-you-buy’ opportunity. This feature removes the risk of purchasing wines you might normally pass by. It’s a better way to explore and experience the many great wines Crush has to offer.
