The Woodall

The Woodall's wine list arrives organized into tasting-profile buckets — 'Crisp & Zesty,' 'Rich & Creamy,' 'Earthy Pinots' — which is actually pretty helpful if you're not a wine nerd. Thirty-three labels is a reasonable count for a New American spot, though the selections lean heavily toward recognizable, grocery-aisle-friendly names. It's the kind of list that won't offend anyone but probably won't excite you either.

The whites carry the most weight here — there's a genuine effort to cover ground from a Vinho Verde and Henri Bourgeois Sancerre-adjacent Sauvignon Blanc to a Stag's Leap Karia Chardonnay that punches well above its weight class. The red section, however, is almost entirely Pinot Noir, which is a bold editorial choice that leaves Cab, Syrah, and Malbec drinkers out in the cold. Sparkling coverage is minimal — a house cava, a Gran Valor Brut, and a Perrier-Jouët for when someone at the table wants to celebrate. The list skews heavily Californian and Oregonian, with France showing up mostly in the bubbly and white sections.

We couldn't confirm the exact by-the-glass breakdown from the current menu, but the list structure suggests standard pour options exist across the main white and red categories. If they're pouring the Selbach Incline Riesling and the Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde by the glass, that's genuinely good news — both are crowd-pleasers that don't bore you. Worth asking your server what's currently available by the pour before committing to a bottle.
