Urban Crush is an Urban Winery in SE Portland where a collection of small wine producers make and share their passion. It is where you can taste a flight, savor a glass, or buy bottles of wine made by some of the Northwest’s up and coming wineries.
Since their inaugural vintage in 2007, Ed and Laureen have been making Angel Vine wines as custom crush clients in Carlton, OR. Without a winery of their own to call home, the couple spent hours commuting between the vineyards of Eastern Washington, their host winery in Carlton, their own vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, and their native Portland, OR.
By 2015, Ed and Laureen were ready to find (and found) a place to make their wine their way—a winery whose urban-industrial setting would give them space to work alongside other craft winemakers and share the “fruits” of their labor in a dedicated tasting room and lounge. After many months and nearly one too many dashed hopes, Laureen finally found the ideal location to house a small winery business in vibrant Southeast Portland. The couple took a leap of faith and founded Urban Crush, Portland’s premier winery and tasting facility, as the new home of Angel Vine and a selection of artisan winemakers.
Ed and Laureen live in Portland with their spunky cellar dog, Oliver, and run Angel Vine with the help of their two daughters, Alex and Morgan.
