Winery Co-Owned by Ilhan Omar’s Husband Closes During Finance Probe

House Republicans now question her revised disclosure listing under $100,000 in assets.

Overview

  • California records show the eStCru wine label co-owned by Tim Mynett has ceased operations.
  • House Oversight Chair James Comer wrote in February that Omar’s disclosures showed two Mynett-linked firms rising from about $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024 and flagged the lack of listed investors.
  • Omar later amended her 2024 filing to state joint assets under $100,000 and attributed the earlier figures to accounting errors.
  • Minnesota lawmakers requested Omar’s communications tied to the Feeding Our Future fraud case and set a May 5 deadline after she did not appear at a recent state oversight hearing.
  • The winery functioned as a contract label rather than a brick-and-mortar producer and drew investor lawsuits and unpaid-wage complaints, according to prior reporting.
