Who am I…
Hi, I'm Heather Thomas—writer, wanderer, wine enthusiast, and still figuring out how to have it all (with humor and high heels). After two decades in sales and marketing, I’m finally uncorking a lifelong dream: finishing my debut novel, Uncorked. It’s a story about legacy, betrayal, and empowerment—set in a vineyard, of course, with a twist of love and power struggles. Think: boardroom drama meets vintage cabernet.
By day, I still play in the sandbox of corporate America. By night (and sometimes early mornings), I write stories that explore the messy, marvelous journey of being a woman, a mother to two fierce daughters, and a partner to my forever lobster. I live in Minneapolis with our two Cavachons, and when I’m not writing or wrangling a calendar, you’ll find me blogging about the three W’s: wine, witty women, and wandering the world.
Thanks for being here—I’m glad you are.
A letter from Heather
Pour a glass, pull up a chair, and let’s catch up.
A Letter from Heather is my monthly love note to fellow seekers of good wine, great stories, and bold, witty women. Each issue uncorks a favorite wine I’m currently sipping, a place I’ve recently wandered (or am dreaming of), and a woman who’s sparked my curiosity—whether from across a table, a podcast, or the pages of a book.
It’s thoughtful, unfiltered, and always served with a splash of humor.
Come along—I promise to make it worth your inbox.
Which Wine Are You?
Which Wine Are You?
Straight from the pages of Uncorked—my debut novel—this vintage gem of a quiz was created in 2003 (yes, complete with stilettos and lip plumper references) and went through countless focus groups to do one thing: pair your personality with the wine that embodies you.
This isn’t about what you like to drink. It’s about what wine you are. Effervescent Champagne? Earthy Pinot? Bold Cabernet with a side of sass?
Answer six cultural questions—from your go-to TV show to what’s always in your purse—and get your perfect pour.
It’s cheeky, nostalgic, and shockingly accurate.
Just like the women of Uncorked.
