    For this month's Sigma Chi Brotherhood meeting, we reserved the private tasting room at West Wine Tasting Room, and it couldn't have been a better choice. The space was intimate yet spacious--perfectly suited for our group of ten. A room built for good wine and better conversation. We were hosted by none other than Joshua Klapper of Timbre Winery out of San Luis Obispo. Grounded, charismatic, and the kind of guy who could've easily been one of us--Josh brought more than just his wines; he brought warmth and wit. You felt like you'd known him from college, or maybe the corner bar back home. The flight? Four wines--one white, followed by a red blend, a Syrah blend, and finally, a bold Cabernet Sauvignon. The pours were generous enough that, by the end, I found myself creating a little "King's Cup" from the excess. Call it a brotherhood ritual or just good fun--either way, it worked. Our hostess and sommelier for the evening was equally memorable--a tall glass of champagne herself, with sun-kissed skin, blonde hair, and a smile that lit up the room. She carried the evening with grace and charm, keeping the mood light and the pours steady. Let's just say, she had the group just as captivated as the wine. And the pizza? Let's not forget that. Flawless dough with a perfect powdered crust, rich tomato sauce, slices of spicy salami, and fresh basil leaves that added just the right amount of pop. It was the kind of bite that makes you slow down and savor. The decor leans toward classic minimalism--clean lines, modern accents, and an unpretentious elegance that complements the wine without trying to steal the show. We left with full bellies, buzzing spirits, and stories that will definitely get retold at our next gathering. West Wine Tasting Room delivered the perfect mix of flavor, hospitality, and connection. A night well spent--and one I'll be talking about long after the last pour.

    We hosted a private event at West Tasting Room, and I can't say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was flawless. Amy was incredible during the planning process -- so helpful with the menu, quick to respond, and thoughtful about every detail. Communication was 10/10. And the day of the event, Lyndsay was an absolute dream to work with -- attentive, kind, and on top of everything. The wine was amazing, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was warm, inviting, and just perfect for celebrating with all of our favorite people. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make sure we had the best night ever. We'll absolutely be hosting more events here in the future. Amy and Lyndsay-- thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us. I'm still over the moon (and maybe a little teary!) thinking about how perfect everything was.

    We had the best experience the other night for our friend's birthday and I'd definitely come back in a heartbeat. Shoutout to Yelp Elite & CM Jara S. for putting this spot on our radar. This tasting room is off Thousand Oaks Blvd and doesn't have that curb appeal per se as it's in a business center looking building. However, what is awaiting you inside is the cutest wine bar and lounge, totally night and day from the outside. At least the signage was good on the outside and we were able to find parking in their own lot so that was a win! Again, the interior of west tasting room is fun and inviting. I love their wine wall to the right when you walk in and at night they keep this spot dimly lit which I appreciated to create a fun and romantic mood. The real win of the night was reserving their private back room for events / celebrations. Highly recommended if you are coming here to celebrate a birthday or similar event. We loved having our own space and we are a loud bunch so it worked out perfectly. The decor in the room was super cute and they had a custom sign up for our friend's birthday which was a lovely touch. Make a reservation for this spot on the weekends as it's definitely a popular spot. They have an impressive food menu and wine menu. I love variety and sometimes that is missing with some tasting rooms but not here. 5/5 stars for the food and wines. We shared their large charcuterie board and their burrata arugula pizza. Both were lovely and perfect for sharing. I'm impressed with their food menu alone. I'm truly no expert at wine but I like variety which this spot has. Very happy for their wine selection. A lot of the bottles were $45+ and $15 for a glass of wine. Given that I liked all three wines that I tasted I was pretty pleased. 5 star wines for me and my preferences. I had the rose, orange wine, and moscato and all were 10/10. It's hard for me to find wines I like as I'm always looking for something sweet or mild but here I found my selection! Service was pretty good overall. I would say friendliness was a 5/5 and attentiveness sometimes went down just a little because they were super busy! So the intention and acknowledgement of wanting to give us stellar service was there, we could just tell they were slammed so there were moments we waited a little bit but the vibes were good and we made due without issue. All of the staff we interacted with were nice and they made us feel welcome from start to finish. I am so glad I was introduced to this wine bar and I'd definitely be back because the atmosphere, menu, and service were very good overall.

    My friend and I came on a Friday night to finally try out West and we were very happy with our experience! It's fairly small inside, especially on a weekend I'd recommend trying to make a reservation. Luckily they had some spots open outside on their small patio and it was a beautiful evening. Service was great; everyone had great personalities and were super helpful and on top of everything. Now onto the wine and food - delish! They have a rotating menu of wines so that will differ, but they explained it well to us and we both enjoyed a flight where we let them pick for us based on what we told them we liked and I had another glass of my favorite from the flight after. We both got pizzas which were super tasty, wood fired type pizzas. The cheese pizza was super tasty even for a simple cheese, and I got the ricotta and leek which I loved, especially with my white wine. We'll definitely be back to try more wines next time as well as their olive oil cake!

    A great local place in TO that serves some great wines and bites. I ordered their orange wine, burrata and prosciutto pizza and cheese board. Everything was great and will return someday again!

    One of my favorite spots to enjoy a good glass of wine. They also have excellent pizza. My favorite is their mushroom truffle sage pizza. The staff here is so knowledgeable and friendly. I also love that they make wine feel more accessible to those of us who don't know all the jargon but still want to be able to communicate what we enjoy about wine They have lots of seating options from high tops to more casual home style seating of comfy chairs around coffee table and even an event room. This place is always a good time and when full can be a little noisy but not in an overwhelming way. Often it's a super chill space with great wine.

    The food was good and complemented the wines really well! Kale salad- the dressing makes the salad, it has a strong lemon flavor (so if you don't like that, don't order it). The 2 boards that we ordered were great as well, great mix and variety of flavors. Pizza- really well made and fresh, had a very mild mushroom flavor, but the truffle really came through. Even though the food was great, it is on the pricier side! The wines are always a hit! Amazing, smooth and a great variety no matter what week or month you go. I tend to always ask for the most popular choices at the time or the employee's favorites. The ambiance is very intimate and nice. It is a very small tasting room, so not much space for private conversations. But most parties were just talking amongst themselves. This is one of the reasons I am taking off maybe half a star. It almost seemed to be too small, at least at the time/date I went. It is counter only service, the staff does come around to serve you the food and wines (and clean up used plates, etc.). The cooking staff were amazing, every time they came out, they were so helpful and friendly.

    First time here with a few girlfriends and loved it! Service was great, everyone was friendly and helpful, sommelier was so helpful with her explanations of the wines. We each had our own flights, and shared a charcuterie board and 2 pizzas (party of 4). Wines were great BUT the pizzas were even better! I did not expect such amazing pizzas. We had the mushroom one which was good but the leek ricotta one was amazing! They have a beautiful private room too so if you're a big group, try and get that room. Otherwise the main room is pretty cozy but loud if it's busy. There are tables outside on the patio but they overlook the parking lot. Overall a great experience, will definitely be back, especially for the pizza!

    After spending some time at the Gardens of the World my mom and I walked over to the plaza next to see if there is an eatery and saw this tasting room. So we walked in and were greeted right away. I wanted to understand what kind of a place it is and the hostess explained to me that they serve wine and offer few kinds of plates that pair well with the wines. You order at the counter, take a seat and they bring out the food. I hit a glass of. Sauvignon Blanc and enjoyed it much. We ordered a pizza and a simple arugula salad and loved both. They offer cheese platters, salads, pizzas and some dessert. My mom and I had a great time talking and planning our Easter lunch. It's a nice tasting room with great ambiance I just wish customer service was better. Inattentive and not so friendly staff. Overall it's great place to meet up with family or friends to enjoy some wine and light food, has nice decor and some outdoor seating as well.

    Cheese Board as of Dec 24 ($26)
    Sarah S.

    A cute and cozy wine bar with a wide selection of foods and wines to choose from. They have wine flights available for $25 for 3. Having predominately wine tasted in Napa and Yountville, these prices feel extremely fair. The cheese board has a decent amount of food for price ($26). Had an orange wine and it was a (3/5) for me. We had a mushroom, truffle oil, and sage pizza and it was delicious and fairly priced as well ($18). Definitely looking forward to being back when I'm in TO!

    Kale salad and flights also  ricotta pizza (which waS AMAZING! )
    Kate D.

    Never disappointed! First time here, and the experience was wonderful! The ambiance is clean, crisp and modern, the service was exceptional; from the wine tasting to the food! It was a fun, modern yet homey feel! Also, the wines are fun, different and unique. I highly recommend this place for Sunday funday, date night or girls day. They also have a fantastic private room that I will use in the future for business dinners. Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

I was hit with valet parking ($7 charge) as soon as I arrived so I was a little worried it might be a little snooty but the vibe was super casual once we were inside. After parking we made our way into the ordering area which has both a food ordering section and bar section. The menu is fairly basic but there are options for just about everyone from salads and paninis to pizzas. I got a pepperoni pizza and a red sangria while my husband got a chicken Caesar salad. The salad was pretty typical, nothing standout about it. But the pizza was actually pretty good. It has a very thin, cracker-like crust and decent flavors. After ordering at the counter, you take the buzzer and go grab a table in one of their many seating areas. I first stopped by the bar area to grab my sangria though. Even for a busy Easter Sunday, there was more than enough seating for all the people there. Take my advice and do a lap so you know where to sit before committing to a spot. We sat right up front where everyone else was. But after eating , I took my sangria and went on a stroll through the little vineyard and other seating areas there. You truly feel like you stepped into Disneyland or Italy when you are there. It's this beautiful little working vineyard in the middle of Westlake Village. Prices were a little steep for the food quality but the ambiance was totally worth it. They even had a live jazz trio playing which added to the vibe. There were tons of families having lunch there and I think that on a normal weekend this place is probably a great spot to come with a group of friends for a little day drinking and wine tasting.

    MOTHERS DAY MASSACRE Just going to cut to the chase. There's…read moreno immediate parking it is roped off all for Valet you have to park at the adjacent parking lot. Service is non-existent there are zero servers or waiters in a very large area. Have to order your food and they are all served without silverware in stadium cardboard foldable boxes. What a vibe for a patio garden. Their menu is very underwhelming and pathetic... cold cuts and cheese is about 80% of it. What's left of it? Waited in line to order at 10.40am, how about some pizza which is clearly written as a lunch menu that begins at 11:00 a.m.? Waited in line to order wasting 20 minutes only for the cashier to say that pizza will not be served for another hour and that the pit is closed. Then why the fuck do you put it on your lunch menu and state that lunch begins at 11:00 a.m.? You cannot order any lunch items before 11:00. You cannot order any breakfast items after 11:00. I was there at 10:40 and they wouldn't even put it in or grant my request of simply starting a lunch order at 11:00 as long as I get the order in and pay so I don't have to wait in line again all over. Easy one (actually not even one just left) and done after the cashier seems to enjoy my suffering on Mother's Day with a group of people looking at me as I expressed my frustration that I could not order what I wanted when I wanted even if it was on time or not. Pathetic as can be. Left immediately after was told I can't order pizza at 11:00 when lunch starts. Good luck.

    The food was excellent and the wine vending machines were a cool concept. The Vol a Vent chicken…read morewas quite good. It is one of the best ones I've had. Most of the things we had were excellent. The only low point was the charcuterie board. The cheese and meat choices were good. The bread that was served with it was hard as a rock. Otherwise, an excellent meal with good service.

    Stopped by the Cave with the family after forced family photos. We recently purchased tickets to…read moretheir "Murder Mystery Dinner" so we wanted to check the place out. In Ventura's industrial area, the Cave is a nice, cozy restaurant that is hidden in the Ventura Wine Company shop. We were greeted by live music which made a lively atmosphere. They have the self vending wine machine with a decent variety of wines for all. I'm going to be honest - I did question the pour size. We ended up buying a bottle of wine at dinner instead and I'm pretty sure that was the economical choice plus it gave me peace of mind. I will say - the plating of the food is strange. Giant plates for small portions never really sits well with me. The kitchen's "thinly sliced" waygu steak was also off putting visually. The Jumbo Scallops w/Leek & Truffle Risotto ($46) is a must order. Scallops perfectly pan seared and that risotto I would eat by itself. The Lemon Chardonnay sauce was incredible. The Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs ($39) was okay. The meat fell apart as it should. The red wine sauce was okay but lacked depth. The creamy mashed potatoes were very good and seasoned perfectly. Wasn't mad that I tried it but would not order again. Wagyu Top Sirloin 12 oz. ($48) was very good despite the poor slicing. The creamy mushroom sauce was perfect to add some flavor but not overpower the protein. The Pepperoni Pizza ($18) was decent for my son. My daughter planned to order the Seafood Pasta until she saw all of her favorite things combined: Mac and cheese, bacon and pizza - the Mac and Cheese Pizza ($21) was honestly top notch. It wasn't overly heavy, the depth of flavor was great and it's extremely tasty. The spicy aioli was top notch. Overall, a good experience at the Cave. I recommend giving it a try.
