Thatcher’s Wine
Wine Shop | General Manager | Brentwood, Los Angeles
Opening Fall 2023 Full Time
Thatcher’s Wine is driven by the excitement and passion of our skilled sommelier team. Our training is rooted in Michelin-starred restaurants and the traditions of old world wineries, paired with a curiosity for discovering the emerging regions and young winemakers who are actively moving the industry forward. From sought-after classics to small productions, we personally select each bottle featured on our site. Founded in 2018, originally focused on Cellar Consulting, Thacher’s Wine expanded with an e-commerce wine shop, followed by Thatcher’s Imports in 2020. After a considerable amount of growth in under 5 years, we decided it was time to plant roots in Los Angeles, and open our first Brick and Mortar, Thatcher’s Wine LA
Thatcher’s Wine LA will be a reflection of the inventory available at thatcherswine.com, following the same ethos and philosophies, featuring wines from some of the world’s most dynamic Domaines and emerging winemakers. From exceptional everyday bottles to rarified finds, our highly curated cellar focuses on honest expressions of climate and terroir from across Europe. We always look to provide a unique wine buying experience, taking what we have learned from working in michelin restaurant environments, and applying it to wine retail and relationships.
Due to open this fall, we are looking to bring on a General Manager to assist in the opening and be a part of the development of the project. The General Manager will oversee opening and day to day operations along with Thatcher and the Director of Operations, assist in the purchasing and development of the cellar selection, work closely with the opening team while being able to retain creative freedom and personality.
