celebrating women IN BUSINESS La Bise Wine Bar What have you set out to achieve in your business? I think achievements in small business are always changing on a regular basis. For me, survival in the wine industry and in a small business has meant being open to and able to change. I have never worked towards a 3 or 5 year plan as you need to be more fluid than that. Natasha Mooney with her children Hannah Dew and Louis Dew. What do you enjoy most about your business (or being a woman in business)? My business is very varied so I find I am doing a different job one day to the next which I enjoy. I am a winemaker by trade but my business needs many skills to keep it flowing and moving forward. For these skills, I outsource a lot of local businesses to engage people more specialised than me. So whether that be accounting, graphic design, food preparation, label printing, viticulture management, etc I find I can connect with others and learn from them while they add value to my business. I really enjoy this connection and community that a small business can create. I have tried various adventures to move forward, including vineyard ownership, starting my own brand, retail sales export sales and consulting overseas and some of these have worked and others have been a total drain of energy and/ or funds. The hard part is to see when something is not working and limit the damage. Overall, I wanted my business to support my lifestyle and not the other way around. This has not always worked but that’s the aim. What is one of your personal/business highlights? The wine bar, La Bise, has been a pleasant surprise and a highlight for me since I opened the doors two years ago. Then, it was the only wine bar in Tanunda but now there are some great options available. I am still honoured when people come into my small space for a drink on Friday nights whether it is to meet friends, explore a new place or be educated about wine styles that I offer. That is what I wanted to create for Tanunda and I am proud that I have been able to do that and open the door for other businesses to do the same.
