Hello East Bay Winemakers,
I hope you are doing well. In case you haven’t heard, Côte West will be closing its tasting room and winery in Oakland later this summer. We’ll continue to make wine, but in a different facility.
This means we have a lot of equipment, tanks, barrels, and furniture to sell. In case you are looking for anything, from a very nice 20HL bladder press to extra TC fittings, we’ve got it all.
The list of most equipment for sale, including pricing, can be found here.
Photos of most of the equipment can be found here.
Feel free to share this more broadly. The posting on Wine Business Monthly is here.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Bret Hogan
Winemaker and Owner
