The dinner is offered at the resort once a year with gourmet barbecue cuisine and more than 35 different varieties of Zinfandel for you to savor. Plus, you can’t forget about the live music during the meal, and the Connie Brannock and Little House of Funk have that covered with their blues and R&B.
Some of the featured wines include the Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Zinfandel, Shebang! Red 12th Cuvee, Oakville Winery Zinfandel, Maserie Pizari Primitivo, and more.
Tickets are $69 per person if you’d like the Zinfandel tastings and $49 if you’d rather skip the tastings.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
