We focus our winemaking on vineyard designated Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Goat Bubbles sparkling wine with five expressions: Rosé, Crémant, Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and Brut Cuvée. Our wines are authentic, easy, approachable and perfectly balanced to pair with food. We don’t own any vineyards but after 40+ years in the business, winemaker Norm Yost has developed close working relationships with quality growers. We’ve carefully chosen our vineyards to represent different terroir with fruit that offers a wide range of textures and flavors. Norm has been making wine for over 40 vintages and has a particular passion for Pinot Noir. In 2000, he launched his own label, Flying Goat Cellars, specializing in vineyard designated Pinots from California’s Central Coast. Norm shared his passion with Kate Griffith by courting her with his first release of Goat Bubbles in 2006. We don’t know if it was the bubbles or the winemaker’s charm but it culminated in a marriage and a family of wines. Now Flying Goat Cellars produces about 2,500 cases a year and includes three labels: Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles and YNOT. Flying Goat focuses on vineyard designated Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris. Goat Bubbles offers five vineyard designated sparkling wines: Rosé, Crémant, Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and Brut Cuvée. YNOT offers both a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay, blended from the finest of Santa Barbara County vineyards.

Every Monday is another chance to learn to breathe and keep pace with the turning and rumbling of the earth. Whether you honor Christopher Columbus Day, pay homage to Indigenous Peoples' Day, or are bleating about the lack of a day off on a federal holiday, this is a chance to recognize resilience. It has shaped our history as a nation and continues to be a vital characteristic to growers and producers in our w**e region. Simply being here amongst the cool climate vineyards that have become internationally known for quality, premium Pinot Noir makes us feel like winners. Raise a glass, raise awareness, and raise the roof on what we've accomplished!

Saturday afternoon is sending the trees tossing to and fro with westerly winds. For those of you who follow the blustery breeze to the W**e Ghetto, you may find that the outside of our Tasting Room looks a bit different. We're reorganizing our space, which means that goodies are up for grabs! Barrels and w**e racks, to be exact. If you or anyone you know holds a dear spot in their heart for oak or purple items, please feel free to take them to a new home.

We can almost see the weekend floating ahead of our very eyes, engraved in a cobalt blue sky above toe-tickling sands. Fall into cool, calm, and collected Friday vibes with us at the Tasting Room until 4 PM. Because nothing beats greeting happy hour with the bursting bliss of Goat Bubbles in a glass and an endless horizon in your future.

The labeling process for our Goat Bubbles can almost feel like art for the heart's sake. Each ch*****ne cork and wire muselet cage is hand-dipped in wax to create the color-customized look associated with each offering in the product line. Club members have been seeing the resurgence of majestic purple with our recently released 22 Blanc de Blancs from Rio Vista Vineyard. The toasty notes of lemon meringue pie and creme brulee that emerge upon popping the cork are sure to have you roaring with leonine delight. Members of the goatherd, be sure to pick up your w**e club bottles before the next hue makes its debut in November--and remember that you can always visit our website to learn more about our Club Celebrate and Philosopher's Club perks.

Summer vibes have been running high, with temperatures more akin to the sunny sphere than the fall season we've entered. Fortunately, Flying Goat Pinot Noir is just as suited to a Saturday BBQ of pork chops and beef patties as it is to a comforting casserole of butternut squash in creamy sage sauce. Won't you tell us what you're pairing for your weekend dinner as we wind down for the evening? And if you haven't seen yet how our w**emaker Norm comes up with inventive food options for both his still and sparkling w**es, then we encourage you to come on into the Tasting Room and experience the possibilities for yourself. Thanks for the great photo, California Grown !

October is taking off, striding along a bridge of possibilities for autumn. We were thrilled to join an impeccable group of w**eries in an evening of easygoing apps and great music at The Maker's Son in Los Alamos for the inaugural event of Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley on Thursday. There was cool shade under the dappled oak trees, unhurried pours of Pinot Noir, and a rustic flair in the details that perfectly captured the spirit of Santa Ynez. Events will be continuing all weekend long, so be sure to visit Taste SYV ( Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley ) to learn more about upcoming horseback rides, brunches, and vineyard excursions.
