feast

This year’s culinary tour is making its first pit stop in Tsuruoka, Japan.  It’s an ancient city located near the Sea of Japan, which in turn has an abundance of seafood waiting to take you on a culinary journey.  No need to travel to Japan, though, because Wilder and his culinary team have created a menu to mimic the tastes of Tsuruoka.

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 total available, so it may be wise to grab you seats now, rather than later, at $60 per person. You can do so by calling  (520) 790-4702.

Here’s an event for those that want the skills or believe they already have the skills of a Sommelier

All participants will be able to try five wines blindly and guess the varietals. If you guess them all right you may win a bottle to take home.

Wine tastings are $12 per person, and it’s totally free if you’re already a Wine Club Members.
