  • Summary

  • 9: In today's episode, we’re talking to Amy Bates, co-owner of West Tasting Room in Thousand Oaks.

    Amy’s childhood passion and first career was in the film industry - where she project managed feature films. After over a decade of traveling around the world working on movies, she realized she was burnt out and knew it was time to pursue another of her passions: wine.

    In our conversation, Amy talks about when the idea for West came to be - and how she put the business plan on hold for a whole 6 years before eventually opening West in 2021.

    Amy is open about the challenges of running a small business and how the incredible community she and her co-founder Rachel have built at West keeps the vision pushing forward.
