  Scuttlebutt is that Amazon has been distancing themselves from their online winesales venture since September, and that a senior account mgr for 'business development-wine' has sent around an email notifying their partners that they are out. The version of the email I saw seemed smarmily vague in its apology to its partners while making it clear... Read More
