Crush's dinner menu PDF for its Anchorage bistro posts wine in four places: a first class glass at 20, a flights block listed at 17 with red and white lineups, a more wine by the glass list and a short dessert wines list. Crush also runs two bottle shops, but the dinner menu carries no bottle list. This unrated guide covers the wines on that menu, not service, storage, the bottle shops or markups.
The first class glass block lists Ridge Vineyards Three Valleys blend from Sonoma ('22) and Ridge Vineyards Grenache Blanc from Paso Robles ('23), both at 20. The flights block is listed at 17 and names its lineups: Old School Aussie (Paper Mache Nero d'Avola, Pikes Shiraz Tempranillo, Bremerton Tamblyn Cabernet blend) and Trolling for Salmon (González-Bastías 'Descabezado' País from Maule, Prost Pinot Noir from Germany, Parts & Labor Red). On the white side, U Know My Cousin has a Stanton Pinot Blanc, a Capitello Sauvignon Gris and a Cayo Tempranillo Blanco, and Just for the Halibut has La Brune Sauvignon Blanc, La Portera Macabeo and Limizzani Vermentino. The PDF doesn't label the unit on the individual prices inside the flights block.
The more wine by the glass list has ten wines from 11 to 15, starting with the MDZ Malbec from Mendoza ('23) and Vietti Moscato from Piemonte ('19) at 11, then Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough ('24) at 12, Chehalem Riesling from Willamette Valley ('14) and Acinum Prosecco Rosé ('23) at 13, Lapostolle Cabernet Sauvignon from Rapel Valley ('21) and Fossil Point Grenache Rosé from Edna Valley ('24) at 14, and Stoller Pinot Noir ('16), Stoller Chardonnay ('17) and Steenberg Sparkling from Constantia at 15. Check the vintages with your server, since the menu posts a '14 and a '16 alongside the '24s.
The Bottom Line
The glass list and the flights are the whole wine program on this dinner menu, and both are easy to order from. Pair the La Brune Sauvignon Blanc from the Just for the Halibut flight with the 42 pan roasted halibut, or take the $12 Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc if you want a straightforward glass. The flights block is listed at 17 if you'd rather try three wines. The dinner menu footer reads 'dinner 06.12.26', so confirm current wines and prices.

A very large list with real range: 18 glass pours and bottles from $41 to $13,000.

A compact nine-wine list that mixes Washington, Chile and Argentina with a Portuguese Vinho Verde and a Spanish Cava.
