FWRD Thinking

I sat down for a chat with the good people at the fancy online fashion site, FWRD. They visited Woon and put me in the most expensive clothes I’ve ever touched. It was a fun chat and a fun shoot. You can see and read all about it over on FWRD.

Our good friends from Wavy Wines are back for another Woon Wine Wednesday takeover!! The evening will feature music, some fun food specials, and a wine list takeover of Wavy’s 4 wines for this year:

California Wine Cooler

Sparkling Piquette of upcycled Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Muscat. 10% ABV! Tangy and effervescent. Plumy, fizzy delight.

Super Californian

Your favorite chilled summer red under cork in a 750ml format. Whole cluster Sangiovese topped with the rosè of Zinfandel and Petit Sirah. Dances the line between a rosè and a red. The red wine for the white wine sippers?! Delicious and light with a touch of tannin for all.

LS Gris

9-day maceration of Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Mineral-driven, ramato-style skin contact with stone fruit and fresh melon notes. She light, she bright, she fun. Pops out of the glass!

Wavy x Bardos Collaboration

Apple and grape pet-nat elixir made with our buds at @bardoscider ! High-elevation (6000 ft) hybrid grapes from Nevada made our rosè of Frontenac which blended beautifully with *barrel-aged* Gravenstein and Jonathan apple cider from Bardos. Dry with notes of candied strawberries. Much yum!!

See you June 7th from 5-9pm!

Umm….what? Yeah, we made it to 4 years. Crazy, right? Today was actually our real birthday, but we’re going to celebrate it on Saturday, March 18th from 5-9pm. We like to party so we’re bringing our friends to help support. We will be serving a limited menu of Beef Noodles, Veggie Noodles, Mama’s 5 Spice Chicken Wings and Sapporo + wine deals all night. Our friends from La Morra Pizzeria will also be taking over the parking lot to serve their wood fired pizzas while the Fat + Flour truck will be parked out front to satisfy any dessert cravings. Homage Brewing will be on site to keep us lubricated with their amazing beers! Last, but not least…we will be hosting a karaoke party on the patio all night. Add your name to the list and sing a song!

See you there :)

Now Open 7 Nights!

A graphic promoting being open for seven days a week

This is not an easy task, but we are going to open 7 nights a week starting next Monday, January 9th. This will be the first time that Woon has opened this many days, so bear with us. It’s a struggle in terms of management, staffing and operations. BUT, it’s time that we give it a shot.

Woon was originally open for lunch and dinner 6 days a week. Then COVID forced us to limit our hours to 5 nights a week. Over time, our volume got so high during those dinner hours that it seemed impossible to expand back our hours. However, operating solely 5 nights a week as a restaurant is not sustainable as a restaurant that offers health benefits and better wages. The only way to make it sustainable is to expand our hours. Also, you can now have woon any day of the week. We won’t have to turn down disappointed customers on Mondays and Tuesday anymore!

Woon Productions, Special Delivery

Special Delivery for Salamat Ceramics

Woon Productions presents the fourth episode in our series titled, Special Delivery, documenting the interesting subjects from our Woon community who contribute to make Woon what it is today.

In this episode, we spend some time with our long-time friend and ceramicist, Monica Galan of Salamat Ceramics. We visit Monica at her studio, Actual Studio Space, in Los Angeles where we pick her brain about ceramics and how our new collaboration Mama's Way bottle came about. We also dive into where she started and where she's at now, which is very inspiring.

Monica has been our friend well beyond Woon, but she actually made the tabletop utensil vessels that still live in Woon today. We also collaborated on some bowls during the pandemic. And she also worked at Woon for a period of time. These episodes are all about our Woon family...and Monica is more than part of it. We hope you enjoy!
