Crush Wine Shop on Knox Henderson is Closing

It's come to our attention that Crush Wine Shop on Knox Henderson has lost its lease, and will thus be closing for the time being. It seems as if it has been undecided if Crush will reopen, and if it does, where. The team at Five O'Clock Dallas have only been to Crush once in the past, but we did enjoy our experience, and are disappointed in the loss of good Dallas wine shop. I've copied the e-mail from the owner, Jim, below.

Growlers: Beer and Take Out

There are many tools a beer lover must have. Glasses. Snacks. A Kegerator. Topping the list? Growlers. Beautiful, easy-to-carry glass jugs that store pints upon pints of hard-to-find, fresh-from-the keg beer. Hefeweizen, IPAs, Stouts, Ales, Lagers - you could probably even get one full of Bud Light (but why would you do such a thing?)

Unfortunately, growlers haven't caught on yet in Dallas. And we can't figure out why. Just look at it, in all of its beer transporting glory:

Fuse Dallas Closing?

Hearing rumblings from Twitter that Fuse, downtown Dallas' Asian / Tex-Mex fusion restaurant has permanently closed, but will re-open within a month with a new concept. If this is true, I'm a little surprised. The food wasn't spectacular, but it was very good - plus they had some really stellar mojitos.

Can anyone confirm this? Or should it be filed under the rumor category?
