Mama Louisa’s Italian Restaurant is serving up its “Obie and Mike” Wine Dinner from 6 – 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25. Come hungry!
For the occasion, Mama Louisa’s very own chef Michael Elefante has teamed up with chef Obie from the members-only Mountain Oyster Club. Although, no membership is needed for this splendid meal.
The wine of choice will be a variety of flavors from Flying Leap Vineyards.
The seating is going to be slim pickings, though, with only 40 seats available, so it’s wise to grab your seats now, rather than later.
Tickets are $60 per person. Reservations can be made by calling (520) 790-4702.

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.
