Walk into The Flying Goat expecting a craft beer bar and you'll be pleasantly surprised — the wine list punches above its weight for a neighborhood pizza spot. It's short, it's PNW-focused, and it doesn't try to be something it's not. That kind of self-awareness goes a long way.
The list runs 10-20 bottles deep with a clear commitment to Washington State and Pacific Northwest producers, which is exactly the right call for a casual Spokane spot. You're not getting Burgundy Grand Crus here, and that's fine. The anchor of the program is the house Goat Head Red from Townshend Winery — a local producer that gives the list some genuine regional identity. The gaps are real (don't come hunting for Rhône varietals or anything from the Southern Hemisphere), but what's here is honest and approachable.
Six to ten pours by the glass in the $8–$14 range keeps things democratic and easy. The glass list leans into the same Washington State ethos as the bottles, so you're not dealing with a disconnect between what's on the menu and what actually lands on your table. At these prices, ordering a second glass before your pizza arrives feels like the obvious move.
Goat Head Red by Townshend Winery — $8
A house wine with actual local provenance is rarer than it should be. Townshend Winery is a legit Washington producer, and at house-wine prices you're getting something with a real story behind it — not a mystery bulk blend in a branded bottle.

Everyone skips the house wine and orders something with a label they recognize. Don't. This Townshend collaboration is the whole point of the list — a wine made with this restaurant in mind, and it shows.

If you're here on any night other than Wednesday, and you're eyeing a full-priced bottle rather than a glass pour, pump the brakes. The list is too short to justify a bottle commitment at full price when half-price Wednesdays exist and are very much a real thing.
Goat Head Red by Townshend Winery + D Street Pizza
A local red blend and a loaded house pizza is not a complicated equation — the fruit-forward profile of a Washington red cuts through rich cheese and toppings without fighting the crust. Simple, local, correct.
Wednesday — Half-priced wine bottles all day every Wednesday
🎲 The Bottom Line
The Flying Goat isn't a wine destination, but it's a pizza spot that actually thought about wine — and on Wednesday, half-price bottles make it an absurdly good deal. Show up, order the Goat Head Red, eat the D Street, and feel good about your life choices.
