Happy Holidays!

We're still riding the wave of a fabulous Thanksgiving brunch during which we were able to host over 400 guests! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and happy families celebrating together.

Now that Thanksgiving's over, we've shopped 'til near dropping, and the final vestiges of turkey leftovers are being polished off, the Christmas holiday is right around the corner. Here at Woolley's that means decorating each of our banquet rooms and making preparations to host guest celebrations.

From small, intimate private dining rooms (one with a working fireplace and all!) to large banquet spaces that hold up to 300 guests, Woolley's is happy to host your holiday, year-end, or New Year kick-off parties for your family or even your corporate celebrations.

Our experienced catering managers, accustomed to seeing that every detail is followed according to guest specifications, will guide you through the entire process. From touring space options to entertainment, decor, and menu selection (even accommodating specific dietary needs), our catering managers are experts in their field.

This year, host your celebration in one of our beautifully decorated banquet spaces and let us handle all of the details. Then you can sit back, relax, and simply enjoy the wonderment of the season!

New Wine Menu

Our new wine menu has been revealed and is ready to titillate your discerning palette! One of our featured wines is Cambria Estate's Katherine's Vineyard 2006 Chardonnay. Upon sampling, our staff's overall comments centered on the buttery smoothness of the wine. 

Located in the Santa Barbara Country, California, the Cambria Estate Winery has been producing exquisite estate-grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah from their vineyard for over 20 years. Katherine's Vineyard is a section of the Estate's vineyard known for its shallow, porous soil. In this environment, the vines are forced to concentrate all of their efforts on developing the grapes. Therefore, the grapes are able to ripen adequately for a fruit with a perfectly balanced acidity.

Receiving 90 points from Wine Enthusiast, the winemaker describes the Chardonnay as follows: 
"The 2006 Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay is bright with citrus, apple, peach, and vanilla aromas. Rich, mouth-filling flavors of grapefruit, citrus blossom, white peach, and sweet oak lead to a crisp finish with a lasting impression of spicy oak.displays ripe pink grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon-lime flavors complimented by a delicate oak-spice. In the mouth, lush flavors of peaches, pears, pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit and green apple lead into a nicely textured mid-palate. Lingering notes of vanilla and citrus offer a balanced and crisp finish."

Perfect paired with Woolley's current fish special, the Grouper! Stop in and try it tonight.
