Tucson’s got a fever and the only prescription is more rosé wine.
Wildflower is hosting a special rosé wine pairing dinner at 5.30 p.m. on Monday, August 28.
Dinner will be prepared by executive chef Kevin Handt, and advanced sommelier Regan Jasper will be pairing the perfect glass of rosé with all four courses.
Tickets are $50 per person. Call (520) 219-4230 to reserve your seats now, or sign up for the Wildflower eBites Club to receive your invitation.
Although Jasper chose special wines for dinner, he also shared some knowledge for affordable quality rosé at home.
“While I’m a fan of Old World classic rosés, like Domaine Ott and Domaine Tempier, I also enjoy New World roses like Dos Cabezas out of a can,” Jasper said. “The cool thing is that there are so many California wineries making small production delicious rosés.”
Here’s some of Jasper’s favorite rosé wines under $30:
- SaMsARA
- Habit Wine
- Dutton Goldfield
- Robert Sinskey Vineyards
- Tangent Wines
- Melville

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.
