Julien Howespian Winemaker for Kosta Browne calls 2021 a “not to be missed vintage” a huge statement from such a famous Pinot Noir figure.

Using their saved money made from tips at their restaurant jobs, Michael Browne and Dan Kosta purchased a half ton of Pinot Noir, a used barrel and a hand-crank stemmer-crusher and Kosta Browne was born. Starting from the bottom, they have developed relationships with growers to source the best. These flavor forward, intense, yet balanced wines have earned the praises of aficionados and critics alike.
