what we're about text in Cote of Paint's font

wine, like life, has no rules

Fine wine has had a gatekeeping problem for way too long, and frankly, we’re over it. Cote of Paint is here to, yes, throw a coat of paint onto old-school wine culture to make sure you feel invited— not like you accidentally walked into a members-only club where you have to accurately rattle off subjective tasting notes to belong.

 

We make wines that don’t require its own language to enjoy. No stuffy or dogmatic rules. No “if you don’t taste crushed river rocks, you’re wrong” energy. Just damn good wine that makes sense for how the majority of us actually consumes it.  Think of us as that friend who always brings the best bottle to the party but won’t judge you for drinking it out of a coffee mug or red cup.
 

So go ahead, pop a bottle, take a sip, and welcome to a wine world where you belong.

Wine knowledge not required.
