PEARSON'S WINE

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. Creative full-page ads with subjects like, "crime," "old age," "taxes," and "politics" touched even those who never touched a drop. 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... Pearson's Wine Spirits is located at 2436 Wisconsin Avenue NW Washington,DC 20007. Call us (202) 333-6666
