The California “winery” owned by Ilhan Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, has officially closed its doors.

According to this from The NY Post:

The winery ceased business operations on April 4, two months after Republicans sent a letter demanding answers into the discrepancies between Omar’s congressional financial disclosures for 2024 and the one she filed just one year earlier, according to California business records.”-Katie Jerkovich

We have questions. Lots of them.

what kind of a muslim has a winery…

the hypocrisy is unmatched

Yeah, that’s one, for sure. And, before anyone says Mynett is not a “true Muslim”, he converted. But he was, supposedly in the “wine business” anyway. Can’t wait for both of them to explain it to their iman. Easily explained, I suppose, as the wine never flowed. Never was produced.

The “winery” (we’ll use quotes here), dubbed eStCru, apparently was not a brick and mortar “winery”, but more or less an LLC in Santa Rosa, California, that “curated” wines and slapped labels on bottles. Damn. If that’s all it takes to be worth $30 million, sign me up. Oh, oops. I meant $100,000.

The winery, eStCru LLC, has almost no online presence. It has no active phone lines, dark social media, and no visible wine production. The building it’s housed in is allegedly not a working winery. Other than that, there’s nothing to suspect that it is serving as a money-laundering shell company.”-M Dowling, Independent Sentinel

There was as many bottles of vino in @IlhanMN's winery as there are kids in the MN Somalian daycares.

eStCru’s short existence was marked by scandal — despite being named “hot brand of the year” in 2022. By early 2023, its winemakers said they had stopped getting paid, and the brand was no longer advertising on social media.”-Gabrielle Fahmy

Where, oh where, did all the money go? And the winery? It’s also gone. Without a trace. No physical address. No phone number. No social media.

The timing of this “shutdown” of this “winery” is truly uncanny. Two months after House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) made this request:

Financial disclosure forms, filed by your wife Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes in, went from being worth as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife. Media reports further suggest that you may have raised money from investors using misleading information, meaning some of those funds may have been obtained improperly.” –James Comer

Ever notice when a politician needs to launder money, they own a vineyard? See also: Gavin Newsom, and Nancy Pelosi who owns two: the Zinfandel Lane Vineyard in St. Helena and the Skellenger Lane Vineyard in Napa Valley.

…or a “daycare”? Next up: a new release of a collection of boutique wines from Mr. and Mrs. Omar. Cheating Chardonnay. River To The Sea Red. Money-Laundering Merlot. Massive Math Error Malbec. Somali Fraud Syrah. All, so light-bodied to have a seeming existence and flavor of absolutely nothing, but a strong odor of bull$hit.

There’s a business opportunity for someone here, somewhere.
