Catalina Foothills, AZ

Hey, Tucson—and hello, Catalina Foothills! I’m Heather, and I’m excited to share a little about the journey that brought me to Turquoise Wine Bar.

Born and raised in the Midwest, I built a 30-year career in Corporate America before pursuing a longtime interest in hospitality. This path is deeply personal, as my brother, Mikey, spent his career in the hospitality industry and helped inspire me to become part of the Turquoise Wine Bar story.

Some of my favorite memories are of time spent with my father, family, and friends—sharing stories, laughing, and occasionally solving the world’s problems over a glass of wine. That appreciation for connection and friendship, paired with a love of great wine, inspired my desire to bring Turquoise Wine Bar to Tucson—a welcoming place where friends and neighbors can come together, slow down, share a glass, and create memories of their own.

Outside of Turquoise, I’m an avid football fan—Go Colts!—and a lifelong animal lover, especially when it comes to my two dogs, Ella and Odie. They’re never far from my heart—or from Turquoise—so keep your eyes open for a hidden nod to my favorite four-legged sidekicks.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Turquoise, raise a glass together, and make a few great memories along the way.
