Calvert Woodley opened its doors in 1982 after the merger of two competitors, Calvert Liquors and Woodley Wine & Liquor. The original two owners, Aaron Bernstein and Ed Sands, retired in 2014 and 2019, respectively. After 26 years (and counting) at CW, Ed's son Michael sold Calvert Woodley in late 2024 and we now embrace a new chapter under the leadership of Jay and Tanvi Patel, who honor CW's heritage while eagerly anticipating the future. The Patel family is devoted to upholding the CW tradition of excellence and deep community involvement, building on our storied past with fresh energy and a steadfast commitment to the neighborhood and community we serve.
