Dreamcote Wine Co. (pron: dream coat)  was born in 2012 by ladies and started with 1 ton of Riesling made in a super bright, off-dry (slightly sweet) style, intended wholeheartedly to be sipped alongside painfully spicy Thai food. Today, Dreamcôte produces 1000 cases of wine, hard cider. In this sandbox we play with more experimental stuff. By experimental, we don't mean we're the first men on the moon, but maybe would phrase it more like - the stuff that isn’t exactly mainstream - carbonic fermentation with oddball varietals (Pinot Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cab Franc and now, Finally, Gamay.), undisgorged pét-nat bubbles, bottle fermented cider made with fruit, hops and herbs off the farm in Ballard. To us this is a little bit of an escape from the traditional. A mini-vacation of sorts. We 1000% love traditional - but sometimes you just want to sip a drink with a tiny little umbrella and to unbutton just one more button on your shirt.    

The Wines, Ciders we craft are casual, low in sulfur, low in alcohol, intended for weekly consumption with blue collar dishes like burgers, tomato sandwiches and ‘what’s left in the fridge soup’ - to be wholly consumed in less than 24 months, not to sit in your cellar, or on top of your fridge for a special occasion. Life’s short. Make it count.
