The owners of COHO Brewing Co say it’s never too late to follow your dreams and start a business. Karen Buckingham and Mike Johnson decided that their love for life and having a good time was the spark needed to enter the still-growing craft beer industry.
The story begins when Buckingham hired Johnson to cater a private party. After rave reviews about his BBQ, a friendship between the Buckingham and Johnson families began. After a few visits to different regional breweries, and after having sampled Johnson’s home-brewed beers, Buckingham came up with the idea of opening a brewery with Mike as the brewer. They were convinced that Mike’s beer was ready to be made available to the public.
After a search for the perfect location for the brewery around their hometown, they finally found that perfect location on Indian Trail Road in Cape may Court House.
Buckingham has extensive experience in customer service and is extremely excited about the launch of COHO Brewing Co. Johnson is a retired North Wildwood police officer and started his award winning Anglesea BBQ catering company. The name COHO came about because of its location in Cape May Court House or “COurt House”. COHO will feature unique beers in a very relaxed environment, where the brewery can be viewed from all areas of the tasting room and bar in a very industrial but warm inviting setting.

Natali Vineyard is open year round and available for tastings, tours, purchase, parties and meetings.
In March 2000, Al Natali purchased 22 acres of horse pasture on Route 47 in Goshen, just one half mile to the Delaware Bay. The first year, cover crops of fescue and mustard rejuvenated the compacted soils. He studied rootstocks, grape varieties and clones for the site's microclimate and soil conditions. To focus the vine's energy on high-sugar fruits rather than high vigor, Al selected the 101-14 rootstock. In Spring 2001, the Natali family planted 2400 vines on the first three acres. Over the years the vineyard expanded to seven acres with 5500 vines, yielding 15 tons of high quality fruit. The grand experiment is discovering which varieties will grow well in Cape May. To that end, Al has planted 14 different varieties of French, Italian and Spanish grapes. The great excitement is tasting which varieties and blends represent the best wine that Cape May can bear.
