Crush

This weekend for Jessica's early birthday party a whole bunch of us went to a new wine bar in annapolis called crush. It was awesome. At first some of us were unsure about the choice b/c the dinner menu was so small, but once we got there all worries went away. The wine menu was extensive, the beer menu was imported, and the cheese menu was amazing.

I got made fun of for immediately ordering a cheese plate(to share with the table) and a cheese sandwich. I probably could have done without the sandwich. for my cheese trio I got a soft blue cheese, a very ripe Camembert, and some lamb cheese (which was later clarified to be sheep cheese)

For wine I of course got a reisling followed by a "crushito" which was basically crushed fruit, maybe some oj or something and wine served in a highball glass.

For dessert we ordered a plate of truffles, one per person (except charlotte since levi stole hers). I got the peanutbutter dark chocolate one and it was beyond delicious. I think they must have been home made.

The one thing I didnt try since they only offered it for red wine and not white was the tasting bar. You got a pre paid credit card to bring up, and its like being behind the bar. Each wine bottle is pneumatically hooked up to a tap (right jessica?) and it measures how much you pour for yourself. That way you can taste really really nice wine without having to pay for an entire bottle (since they dont usually serve that kind of stuff by the glass). I hope they end up making one for white wines too :)
