Woody's Blanc de Blancs
The toast — green apple and Meyer lemon ripening into peach; crisp, quick, festive.
A third-generation farmer asked what zero-proof wine would be if it weren't an afterthought. Woody's is farmed like wine because it is wine — its alcohol drawn away under vacuum, nothing else touched.
The Blanc de Blancs is the toast of the range. Green apple and Meyer lemon at the open, ripening toward peach; a fine, quick bead and a clean, dry close. Mendocino brightness, kept whole.
We do not score. We read. The Reading is how the house locates this bottle — four axes, written on the four petals of the mark.
The Wine Reading™
NOSE citrus
ARC quick
WEIGHT crisp
STAY clean
One to four petals, quiet to pronounced. A Reading is a location, not a grade.
The Glass — the handblown Stem Zero Champagne. The tall bowl holds the bead in view, and the crystal holds nothing back.
Serve — 42–46°F, well chilled.
