Dishes include duck rillette, poached shrimp, ciccioli and oyster escabeche“It’s always exciting bringing guest chefs from around the world to Woodinville Wine Country,” said Chef Seth Fernald of Novelty Hill Januik. “We had a fun time planning the menu and bringing together our culinary points of view. The menu truly plays to both of our strengths and pairs well with the spectacular Washington wine featured at the event.”
