First Impression
CRÚ is a wine bar that acts like one. Over 300 wines on the list, 40-plus premium pours by the glass, themed flights, and a weekly calendar of specials that actually rotates. The Avalon location buzzes with the energy of a place that understands wine should be fun, not homework.
Selection Deep Dive
With 300-plus bottles the list covers serious ground. Old World and New World get equal billing, and the flight program lets you taste across regions without committing to a full glass. The depth means you can find something interesting whether you drink Albariño or Amarone. CRÚ also curates rotating selections that keep regulars coming back to see what changed. This is not a static binder list — it is alive.
By the Glass
Forty-plus wines by the glass is elite territory. CRÚ treats the glass pour program as a feature, not an afterthought, with premium selections across every major category. The flight offerings — themed by region, style, or varietal — add an educational layer that pairs well with the small-plates menu. You could visit weekly and never order the same thing twice.
CRÚ Wine Flight (Red or White) — $15-20
Three curated pours for the price of a single premium glass elsewhere. The flights rotate regularly and they are the smartest way to explore this massive list without overthinking it.
Champagne Thursday Selection
CRÚ runs a Champagne Thursday with special pricing on sparkling wines. Most people default to the weekend — show up on a Thursday and you get the bubbles and the elbow room.
Entry-level Prosecco by the bottle
With 300 wines and premium flights at accessible prices, ordering the cheapest sparkling by the bottle is a missed opportunity. Spend five dollars more and the quality jump is dramatic.
Premium Pinot Noir Flight + Charcuterie Board
Three different Pinots across the flight against cured meats and aged cheese is a masterclass in why this grape is the most food-friendly red on earth. Let the staff guide you.

🔥 The Bottom Line
CRÚ is what happens when a restaurant builds its entire identity around wine and actually delivers. Forty-plus by-the-glass options, themed flights, Champagne Thursday, and Pizza Monday — this is a wine bar that wants you to come back every week. Mission accomplished.
