Description
Pearson's is a family owned business which was established in 1933 when "Doc" Eisenberg bought Pearson's Pharmacy on Wisconsin Avenue. Alcoholic beverages were sold by prescription during Prohibition but when alcohol became legal again, liquor sales overtook the small neighborhood pharmacy. Doc and his wife, Sarah, opened Pearson's Liquor Annex a few doors down the street. During the 1940s and '50s, Pearson's became a major force in Washington D.C.'s liquor market. Everyone in Washington knew Pearson's. It became a D.C. institution and a major wine and spirits destination with many customers traveling many miles and states to visit us. In the '60s, Pearson's entered the sophisticated world of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and fine German wines. Newworld California wines were introduced at Pearson's a decade before most of the wine-drinking public knew they existed
