Sand-Reckoner Vineyards is Closing — Liquidation Sale is December 21

Tucson Foodie is member-supported. Join the club.

Back in August of this year, Sand-Reckoner Vineyards closed its Tucson tasting room at 510 N. Seventh Ave. #170. Now, Sarah Fox and Rob Hammelman are closing up shop in Cochise County, ending a 15-year run of producing top-notch wine.

“The last 15 years have been wonderfully full — full of hard winery work, long days, sweat and tears, and many cups of coffee; they have also been full of excitement, cool quiet mornings in the vineyards, celebratory joy in the tasting room,” they shared. “We have met and made meaningful connections with so many of you, and have been honored with beautiful professional and personal relationships. We’ve cherished our time with you in the vineyards and winery and tasting room, and strove to express the beauty of Cochise County in every bottle of Sand-Reckoner wine.”

“We now find ourselves at the end of this journey. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be on your tables, to share our love of Cochise County with you, and for your support over the last 15 years.”

From noon – 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 12, they’ll be hosting a final wine sale here in Tucson at 810 E. 17th St.

“Every bottle will be marked down at least 50%, with deeper case discounts. Most of the wines are from our library – we’d love to find all the wines happy homes with you (we will not be able to take orders or ship, our apologies).”

More about Matt

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.
