Major Press Reviews - Current Releases


We poured our Troika Pinot Noir at Charlie Palmer's 4th annual Pigs & Pinot "Smackdown" on March 21, 2009, and we came in 1st place!!!

"On Saturday afternoon, Pigs & Pinot participants attended The Ultimate Pinot Smackdown Seminar led by master sommeliers Keith Goldston, Fred Dame, Drew Hendricks, and William Sherer. Each Master Sommelier entered his personal selection of 4 Pinot Noirs from around the world. Four heats later, the audience ultimately chose Woodenhead as their favorite."

Food & Wine Magazine - May 2008


Discover Wine Country TV did a great feature article on us.


We had a great write-up in The Bohemian Aug 29-Sep 4 2007 issue. James Knight did a great story on us.

"The wine? Absolutely frickin' brilliant... My notes actually read, 'Raspberry velvet love tongue?' ...I found myself jealously gripping my glass toward the end of the tasting."


In an interview on npr.com, on the show "Splendid Table", March 17th on Pinot Noir, Ray Isle (Senior Editor of Food and Wine Magazine) mentions Woodenhead as one of his three favorite Pinots. Read the show summary or listen to the full interview (Woodenhead is mentioned about 10 minutes into the show.)
