Esja Wines is a boutique, micro-winery based in Washington State (specifically a garage-turned-winery in Duvall) founded by Tanya Bjornsson. Inspired by her Icelandic heritage and Mount Esja, the winery produces low-intervention, light-bodied, and acid-driven wines. Esja focuses on fresh, fun, and often carbonic-method wines, including Roussanne, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese.
Tanya will host the evening. We will showcase five wines paired with Chef Tim’s spring-inspired menu. There is one seating at 6 p.m. Dinner is $95. $30 for the wine pairing. Chef will gladly accommodate any dietary considerations with advance notice.
