Don’t let a lack of barbecue and delicious wine give you the blues. There’s a big event you’ll want to consider attending if that’s already the case.
Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort’s annual Zin, Blues, and BBQ is making its return on Sunday, October 17 from 5 – 8 p.m.

This year’s festivities, feature a splendid gourmet barbecue menu, live blues brought to you by Paul Green & Midnight Blue, and more than 24 varieties of Zinfandel wine from local distributors.
All bottles of wine will be available to buy all evening and you’ll be able to pick up your bottle orders at the resort the following week. Plus, Ranch House Brewery will also be on-site serving draft beer if you’re in the mood for something other than wine.
The event is for those 21 years old and older and tickets are $85 each, which includes food, alcohol tastings, and a complimentary souvenir wine glass. If you’d rather not drink, tickets are just $65. All reservations need to be made by calling (520) 529-3500.

Matt Sterner
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.
