The limited-time meal is being served alongside the regular menu, too. However, if you’re feeling the pull toward this multi-course dinner you’re in for a treat. The wine educator and Tablas Creek national sales representative, Darren Delmore, has handpicked four glasses of wine that’ll pair perfectly with each course.
Seats are $145 per person and that includes all courses and all glasses of wine. Plus, if you’d rather not have every course, there’s going to be a la carte options as well.

Tablas Creek Vineyard began its journey back in 1989 out of Paso Robles, California. They make 15 to 20 wines a year and it’s with the help of the four-legged residents on the farm — a mobile herd of sheep, alpacas, and guard donkeys that eat unwanted weeds and fertilize the soil.
The Coronet is located at 198 W. Cushing St. For more information, visit coronettucson.com or call (520) 222-9889.
At 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.
