Join us in walking across the street to the newly-opened PNWonderland Wine Bar! The owners Jess and Rachel have invited the Esprit attendees over for a non-hosted wine tasting, and have curated a special flight for us of three wines that will be available for $15 per person. Jess and Rachel are both sommeliers and are more than happy to share about the wines we will be tasting.
Their full selection of wines by the glass will also be available for $9-14 per glass. A small snack menu is also available to order from including cheese, charcuterie, tinned fish, nuts, olives, chicharrones.
Their main entrance is on Lincoln Street right next to Moby Duck—just look for the Pink Door and now Pink Window.
