Esquin Celebrates 50 Years in Business

Launched in 1969 Esquin’s roots run deep in Seattle. In 1997 current owner Chuck LeFevre purchased the business from founder Rand Sealey, and there are now three generations of LeFevre’s family involved in the store. The family’s success has been spurred by Esquin’s terrific central location in S**o, its huge selection (more than 5,400 wines and 1,200 spirits at recent count) and a series of customer-friendly ancillary services, such as wine storage, tastings, educational seminars, and a robust online presence.
