One year ago today, Cellar – the bottle shop @ Crush – opened it’s doors to the public with no working POS, lightly stocked shelves and 50 Wine Club Members eagerly awaiting the first Cellar Wine Club release.  One year later, we have survived the sleepless nights, ups and downs, separation anxiety, and satisfaction that goes with a new business’s first year.  Our shelves are full of great wine, beer, spirits, cheese and salami and we have over 300 Cellar Wine Club members enjoying new and exciting wines each month.  Please check out the Cellar tab for more information about our bottle shop.  If you already know us, thanks for making our first year a great one!

Crush just added 12 new wines to our already tempting wines-by-the-glass menu! Stop in and treat yourself to a glass of something you haven’t yet tried. Many of our wines are new to Alaska! Now there’s something to cure the “isn’t winter over yet” blues!

Come spend Valentine’s Day with Crush! We have put together a decadent Valentine’s Day menu sure to delight: Fondue for two, escargot, crab, and more. Come join us, but email us now because reservations are filing up fast!

Crush’s Signature Chicken Salad: House roasted chicken, smoked paprika, shallots, mandarin oranges, and sundried tomatoes. Served on an open faced greek pita.  Try this with today’s soup of the day, Crush’s very popular Alaskan Seafood Chowder. Mmmm…

This week we are featuring delicious free-range elk medallions from Pitchfork Ranch in the Valley, these are seared and served with locally foraged porcini mushrooms, valley fingerling potatoes, and veal jus. Try this small-plate paired with a glass of the Chateau Greysac Medoc.  What a nice way to welcome the cooler fall weather.

The 2010 Press Picks are announced!  Cheers and many thanks to all of our loyal Crushtomers who voted us #1 Wine Bar in Anchorage!  Lets raise a glass to that!

Locally caught Silver Salmon, beer braised and tossed in farfalle pasta with fresh hand-picked morel and king boletus muchrooms.  Or try our Seared White King Salmon served with Matanuska Valley grown roasted zucchini and served over herbed rice. Delicious!

Dinner Special: Come in out of the rain and try Crush’s VENISON STEW. Made with locally harvested mushrooms and topped with sweet cornbread, this is to die for! Come ‘n get it while supplies last, which might only be a few more days.
