In this episode of the Arthur Avenue Podcast, the guys dive into Heaven’s Door 10 Year Tennessee Bourbon, the premium whiskey created in collaboration with legendary songwriter Bob Dylan.

JP just got back from a trip to Minnesota — Dylan’s home state — which leads the crew down a rabbit hole discussing their favorite Bob Dylan songs, Dylan’s influence on American culture, and how a folk legend ended up with one of the most interesting whiskey brands on the market.

But things escalate quickly.

The crew takes on their largest tasting lineup ever, sampling 30 different Heaven’s Door private barrel whiskey samples to see which barrel truly stands out. Somewhere in the middle of that marathon tasting, Fez the Truffle Pig discovers what might be the worst whiskey he has ever tasted in his life.

Along the way the guys also talk about the strange world of celebrity whiskey brands — including how Metallica has their own whiskey even though the band famously stopped drinking years ago.

Meanwhile JP is discovering another harsh truth of life… he’s getting older, and his back is starting to remind him.

Topics in this episode include:

•Bob Dylan Heaven’s Door 10 Year whiskey review

•30 Heaven’s Door private barrel whiskey tastings

•JP’s trip to Minnesota

•Favorite Bob Dylan songs

•Celebrity whiskey brands

•Metallica whiskey

•Fez the Truffle Pig’s worst whiskey ever

•The dangers of aging while drinking whiskey

If you enjoy bourbon reviews, whiskey tastings, music history, and chaotic podcast conversations, this episode is for you.

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.

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.

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)

EPISODE 50

Anthony and JP are back with the newly rebranded Arthur Ave Podcast, and what better way to kick things off than with a true Bronx story? We sit down with Theo from S&T Autobody, a third-generation family business that’s been part of the neighborhood for decades.

Theo shares stories about his grandfather’s start in the auto body trade—how hustle, hard hands, and a few lucky breaks turned into a shop that’s stood the test of time. We talk about legacy, surviving in New York, and the pride that comes with keeping a family business running strong.

The Arthur Ave Podcast is all about community, culture, and the people who make this neighborhood more than just a zip code—and this episode nails it.
