How to restart Selenium browser after quit?

$

I'm trying to quit and then restart a new browser session with Selenium when encountering a captcha, and I'm not sure yet why the code below isn't working.

It quits the existing driver, but after recursion browser.get() results in this error: ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Thanks in advance for any advice. I've included only the most relevant parts of the code below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
path_to_chromedriver = '/Users/Myname/Desktop/a/chromedriver 2'

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('start-maximized')
#options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
#options.add_argument('--disable-notifications')
options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=path_to_chromedriver)
headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36'}

def get_page_info(url, browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=path_to_chromedriver)):
    browser.get(url)
    try:
        body = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body')
        if "been denied because we believe" in body.text:
            print("going to new session...")
            browser.quit()
            human(4,6) #time delay
            return winery_info(url)

Edit: I normally wouldn't use this tactic to get around a captcha, but in my use case this makes sense.
