    Boys Trip Disaster. 2-Hour Uber Ride in a Blizzard, No Gas, Grappa & Regret | Arthur Ave Podcast

    Super Fans! - Text the show with your questions and comments What was supposed to be a simple boys trip turned into a full-blown winter survival story. In this episode of the Arthur Ave Podcast, we break down the chaos: • A 2-hour Uber ride home in the middle of a blizzard • Running out of gas halfway through • The Uber driver literally hitchhiking for fuel • Being stranded in freezing weather  We also get into a real conversation about grappa — what it is, why people drink it, who actually buys it, and why certain personalities gravitate toward it. Is it a digestivo for tough guys? An old-school Italian staple? A misunderstood spirit? We break it down. If you’ve ever: ✔ Been stuck in a snowstorm ✔ Taken a questionable Uber ride ✔ Drank grappa when you probably shouldn’t have ✔ Wondered who actually buys grappa and why This episode is for you. Expect chaos, winter survival stories, liquor education, and the kind of honesty that only comes from being stranded in a blizzard with no gas while your schizophrenic uber driver hitchhikes for gas. ⸻ 🎧 Listen to more episodes: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW214mZMtccvV1qYSL2bQyQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Wany3pljWzn2xVDhIw7Zv?si=bce4ad0e7bc74467 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arthur-cantina-wine-liquor-podcast/id1754634529 🛒 Shop rare Italian spirits & grappa: https://arthurcantina.com #BoysTrip #UberStory #BlizzardStory #Grappa #ItalianSpirits #ArthurAvePodcast #LiquorPodcast #WinterStormStory #BronxLittleItaly Shop online : arthurcantina.com  Shop in person : 2380 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 🎵 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4Wany3pljWzn2xVDhIw7Zv?si=1ce1944678214390 🍎 Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arthur-cantina-wine-liquor-podcast/id1754634529 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawine TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine Visit our store anytime at arthurcantina.com or in person at Arthur Cantina Wine & Liquor 2380 Arthur Avenue, Bronx NY 10458 Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawine TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine

    What Is Madeira Wine? History, Tasting & Pairing w/Madonia Bakery Onion Bread. Arthur Avenue Podcast

    Super Fans! - Text the show with your questions and comments In the first episode of 2026, the boys kick off the new year with one of the most historic (and misunderstood) wines in the world — Madeira. We taste Madeira wine, break down its flavor profile, explain how it’s made, and dive into the incredible history behind this fortified legend. From ocean voyages to colonial America, Madeira was literally built to survive sea travel — and still tastes alive decades later. And because this is Arthur Avenue, we paired it properly. The Madeira is matched with fresh onion bread from Madonia Bakery, one of the iconic bakeries in Bronx Little Italy. The sweetness, salinity, and caramelized onion notes hit differently when paired with a wine designed by heat and oxidation. If you've ever searched: What is Madeira wine? How is Madeira made? Does Madeira wine go bad? What does Madeira taste like? What food pairs with Madeira wine? Best bread pairing for fortified wine? This episode answers it all. In this episode: • Madeira wine tasting notes • The history of Madeira wine • Why Madeira might be the most indestructible wine on earth • Pairing Madeira with onion bread Start 2026 the right way — history in the glass, bread on the table. 🍷 If you love Italian wine, fortified wine, rare bottles, and real conversations without the wine-snob nonsense — subscribe and follow the Arthur Avenue Podcast.  Shop online : arthurcantina.com Shop in person : 2380 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458  🎵 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4Wany3pljWzn2xVDhIw7Zv?si=1ce1944678214390  🍎 Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arthur-cantina-wine-liquor-podcast/id1754634529  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawine  TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine Visit our store anytime at arthurcantina.com or in person at Arthur Cantina Wine & Liquor 2380 Arthur Avenue, Bronx NY 10458 Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawine TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine

    How to pair Mozzarella & Soppressata with Italian Wine on the ARTHUR AVENUE PODCAST

    Super Fans! - Text the show with your questions and comments On this episode of the Arthur Avenue Podcast, the boys return to their natural habitat: fresh mozzarella, soppressata, and loud chewing noises. We’re eating classic Italian staples straight out of Arthur Avenue (Calabria Pork Store) in the Bronx, pairing them with Bocelli Sangiovese from the Tuscan winery owned by legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli— if you’re going to antipasto, you might as well do it operatically. Anthony breaks down: Why mozzarella + soppressata is still undefeated How Bocelli Sangiovese drinks like a crowd-pleaser but thinks like a serious Italian wine What makes celebrity-owned wineries legit (and when they’re just cash grabs) And, for reasons no one can fully explain, his deep admiration for former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio Is it satire? Is it sincere? Is it wine talking? Yes. If you love Italian wine, Arthur Avenue food, Bronx culture, or watching grown men argue while eating, this episode is for you. 🍷 Wine Featured Bocelli Sangiovese (Tuscany, Italy) Bright cherry, earthy undertones, food-first structure—built for cured meats and food with good fat. 📍 Topics Covered Arthur Avenue Italian food culture Mozzarella & soppressata pairings Bocelli Winery & celebrity Italian wines Sangiovese food pairings Bronx wine talk NYC politics (uninvited but persistent)  Shop online : arthurcantina.com  Shop in person : 2380 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 🎵  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4Wany3pljWzn2xVDhIw7Zv?si=1ce1944678214390  🍎 Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arthur-cantina-wine-liquor-podcast/id1754634529  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawine  TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine Visit our store anytime at arthurcantina.com or in person at Arthur Cantina Wine & Liquor 2380 Arthur Avenue, Bronx NY 10458 Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arthurcantinawine TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@arthurcantinawine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/arthurcantinawine
