The 2019 dinner series is goin’ strong.
Casino Del Sol’s PY Steakhouse continues the monthly “Dinner with Chefs” series from 6 – 9 p.m. on Sunday, September 15.
This month, executive chef Ryan Clark is teaming up with Master Sommelier, Laura Williamson, and each of the three courses served will be paired with some of her favorite glasses of wine.
There are only 165 people who have earned the title of “Master Sommelier” as part of the Americas chapter since the organization’s beginning — of those, 139 are men and only 26 are women. Laura Williams is considered one of the top Master Sommeliers in the World.

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.
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.
