About Cote
Our Founders
Cote Winery was founded in 2022 by newlyweds, Mike and Brittni Szorady. Brittni started making wine several years ago and loved the process of figuring out how to turn kit wine into something of her own. A few years later she had the opportunity to work closely with the previous owner of Sand Hollow Winery in Newark, Ohio and that gave her the courage to strike out on her own.
Our process
Our wines are produced in stainless steel variable capacity tanks. Each bottle of wine is filtered twice for optimal taste, clarity, and stability. You'll notice several vines growing around the property which you're able to observe from the parking lot and tasting room.
Our Labels
You’ll notice that the label on each of our 8 varietals has a unique painting. These paintings are original oil paintings by Brittni and provide the names for each of our wines. You’ll see some of these paintings on display in the tasting room / art gallery at Cote Winery. They are available to purchase along with other items in the gift shop. You can also go directly to her website, Brittni Hall Art.
My hope for creating Cote Winery, is that it brings art lovers and wine lovers together to enjoy both worlds in one space.
