Fall is certainly a big event season here in Tucson, and this week’s show originated from a place that’s planning some of the most delicious events your palates can imagine – the Hacienda Del Sol!

Our celebrity co-host was publicist extraordinaire Laura Reese of Storyteller Public Relations, who shared information about some upcoming community events that are anchored by great food and beverage. We were also joined by Tristan White of Dragoon Brewing Company, who poured some of the brew that he’ll be serving at the upcoming 4thtoberfest, a malty doppelbock with beautiful notes of toffee. The Hacienda’s director of wine and spirits, John Kulikowski, talked Tuscany-inspired cuisine and wine in preparation for his Travel the World Wine Dinner, while spooking us a bit with a scary menu that will be showcased at his upcoming Halloween Party. David Solorzano, the Hacienda’s chef de cuisine, took us on a virtual tour of Argentina as he revealed his plans for this year’s Argentina Heart & Soul event, and teased us on what he’s thinking for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s!
