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.
Henri Bourgeois Petit Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc 2023 — null
Henri Bourgeois is a respected Loire house and the Petit Bourgeois is a legitimately well-made Sauvignon Blanc that drinks above its station — grassy, mineral, and clean. If pricing is anywhere reasonable, this is the move for white wine lovers at the table.
Selbach Incline Riesling 2022
Most people see Riesling on a list and assume sweet — they're wrong here. Selbach is a Mosel institution and the Incline is off-dry at most, with zippy acidity that cuts through rich food. It's the wine everyone at the table will be pleasantly surprised by if you just order it without announcing what it is.
Perrier-Jouët Champagne
Perrier-Jouët is a perfectly fine Champagne house, but it is also the definition of a restaurant markup target. You are paying a significant premium for the bottle recognition alone. If you want bubbles, the Honor Cava Rosé or Gran Valor Brut will cost you far less and the gap in quality is smaller than the gap in price.
Stoller Pinot Noir 2023 + Roasted Chicken or Duck
Stoller is a solid Willamette Valley producer and their Pinot is the kind of earthy, red-fruited wine that was made for roasted birds. The acidity keeps it lively against richer preparations, and it's approachable enough that the whole table won't be reaching for something else after two sips.
✔️ The Bottom Line
The Woodall's wine list is a functional, inoffensive companion to a good meal on Atlanta's Westside — it won't wow you, but the whites in particular show some genuine care. Go for the Riesling or the Henri Bourgeois, skip the Champagne markup, and you'll drink well enough.
