Arthur Avenue Podcast
The Arthur Ave Podcast is about more than bottles — it’s about the Bronx. Hosted by Anthony and JP, we spotlight the people, families, and businesses that make Arthur Avenue what it is: a living, breathing neighborhood built on Italian legacy.
From third-generation auto shops and butchers to winemakers, bakers, and 100 year old delis, every episode shares the stories behind the storefronts. These are the voices that keep tradition alive while shaping the future of the Bronx’s Little Italy.
It’s not just about how a business runs — it’s about the history, the hustle, and the neighborhood pride that fuels it. If you want to know what makes Arthur Avenue tick, you’ll find it here.

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.
