The whole Blue Goat crew in one place (finally) 🍷
It doesn’t happen often, but it’s a nice reminder of how lucky we are to have this team. Stop in for a drink and say hi!

We’re open at 11am Monday–Saturday for retail, with the wine bar pouring starting at 3pm. Extended hours coming in a few weeks 🥂

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new Wine Buyer, Rick Lopus! We’re thrilled to have him on the team and can’t wait for you to get to know him.

After 40+ years in the wine industry, including serving as Vice President of a major wine wholesaler, Rick and his wife Mindy retired to the Old Mission Peninsula.

But stepping away didn’t last long. With decades of experience, travel to nearly every major wine region in the world, and a deep passion for the craft, Rick had far too much knowledge and enthusiasm to keep to himself.

Rick holds multiple industry credentials, including Certified Wine Educator CWE, WSET Level 3 Wine and Spirits Education Trust, and Certified Sake Professional CSP.

Fun fact: Rick has visited Europe over 80 times, exploring virtually all of the major and many lesser known wine regions along the way. His favorite wines? Champagne, Red Burgundy, Barolo, and yes, Champagne again!

We’re so excited to have Rick bringing his expertise and passion to the team. Be sure to say hello next time you see him!
