Six-Course Italian Wine Dinner Menu
During the dinner, they’re hosting a charity raffle for the Iskashitaa Refugee Network.
Sally Kane and the rest of the team at The Coronet will be raffling off a 2015 bottle of Parusso Barolo Mosconi (worth $180), which was donated by Banville Wine Merchants. Also, they’ll be raffling a 2019 bottle of Parusso Barolo Mosconi ($190).
Both bottles are “undeniably incredible expressions of Barolo.”
All proceeds will go to the Iskashitaa Refugee Network, which creates opportunities to integrate United Nations refugees into the Southern Arizona community while educating the public, strengthening the local food system, reducing local food waste, and increasing food security.
The Coronet is located at 198 W. Cushing St. For more information and to purchase tickets to the dinner, visit coronettucson.com.

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.
