Château La Conseillante 2014 FALL WINE SALE alvert oodley has been a big year at CW. First and foremost, we would like to say congratulations to the man that put 2014 the “Calvert” in Calvert Woodley, Aaron Bernstein, on his recent, and well-deserved, retirement. “Mr. B” started at Calvert Liquors on Wisconsin Avenue in the early 1960s, and became co-owner of Calvert Woodley in 1982 when two former competitors merged and moved to our present location on Connecticut Avenue. Specializing, among other things, in the liquor side of the business as well as the handling of personnel, he was a perfect complement to Woodley Wine & Liquor’s Ed Sands. They formed a great partnership that lasted an impressive 32 years. Mr. B’s drive and dedication helped take us to new heights, and he will be missed. He passed on his lifetime of knowledge and experience to son David, who has now been at CW for more than 20 years, so we know we’re in good hands. A loyal family man, we’re sure he’ll enjoy spending more time with his wife, kids, grandkids, and his many friends, and maybe for once, not having to do much of anything at all!
