"Sommelier husband-and-wife duo Jessica and Brian Dynda run Crush Pad, an unpretentious wine bar on the southwest side of Las Vegas. This cozy spot pours well over 30-plus wines by the glass, pulling from a traditional and obscure mix of places and grapes like Slovenia, Austria, the Czech Republic, and beyond. This is the place to ask for choices that are “classic and curious,” according to Jessica, to blow your taste buds away, and with flights that are not pre-selected, wine drinkers can mix and match their own tastings." - Jen Avison Smith
