There’s tension in the Charlottesville wine world. Crush, the Belmont wine shop, is dealing with the fact that a New York City wine shop has a trademark on the name, and isn’t too happy to share it (read: possible legal battle). Read more in next week’s The Working Pour. Meanwhile, today on cVillain.com a letter from the shop’s ex-manager Gregg Oxley that has been circulating around town was posted. The letter announces that Oxley "as of August 15…will no longer be a part of Crush Wine Shop." He goes on in the letter to thank the store’s customers and ask that anyone who knows of any jobs available to let him know.
