Meet Jennifer Sinconis & Laura Hernandez | Co-owners & Founders, Turquoise Wine Bar

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennifer Sinconis & Laura Hernandez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer Sinconis, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Owning a wine bar was never a part of our career strategy! That is until neighbors Jen & Laura, realized what was missing in our community. Not just a great wine tasting experience, but community; a true “Cheers” environment, that is inclusive and connected during this strange post-covid society.

So after many wine exploration sessions in our living rooms and conversations about bringing great, boutique wines into the West Valley, we outlined our business plan: Turquoise Wine Bar was going to be the spot for amazing small-lot wines, wine education, spectacular culinary pairings, and the ultimate experience in wine community.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Turquoise is unique to not only the metro Phoenix area but to any area in that we provide not only product and service, but experience. In our post-covid society, we have found that there is a lack of human connection and in-person experience. Turquoise was built with the mission of providing a wine community, and our customers have eagerly agreed that this is what they were missing in their lives.

Turquoise is a wine bar – featuring boutique wines made by small-lot winemakers, each with a unique story and delicious product.
Turquoise is a bottle shop – we sell wines you won’t find in your big box stores. Wines made naturally, product that you can feel good about purchasing.
Turquoise is an education resource – we love wine, and we love teaching about wine! Join us for regular tastings and classes to learn more about wine.
Turquoise is an experience – we welcome winemakers and wine reps for tasting events, pairings and catered dinners.
Turquoise is an event space – we host events of all sizes, including corporate events and private parties.
Turquoise is a wine club – join our monthly club and experience rare wines, special events, and community gatherings.
Turquoise is experience through travel – Turquoise Travel will lead group excursions through domestic and international wine destinations.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Lets check out the great wine spots in the Phoenix area! Turquoise (of course), The Audrey Wine Bistro, then up to Sedona for a day of local Arizona wine tasting.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Turquoise was built with the mission of providing a wine community, and our customers have eagerly agreed that this is what they were missing in their lives. Our big shout-out is to the amazing customers and friends we have gained these last two years at Turquoise. Without you, our business would be nothing.
