It's the first Friday of the month, and you know what that means – time for bourbon night! Here's something fascinating: did you realize that bourbon was once considered medicinal? During Prohibition in 1919, the government actually issued special permits allowing doctors to prescribe whiskey for health purposes. Even President Harry Truman followed his doctors' advice by starting each morning with a shot of bourbon. After his daily dose of "medicine," he'd enjoy a brisk walk

This evening, during the wine pairing and pouring event from 5-8 p.m., Arny will be crafting a traditional Tuscan-style Panzanella Salad. This quintessential Italian salad, made with bread and tomatoes, is both fresh and seasonal while being substantial enough to serve as a lunch or a light dinner. In the United States, awareness of panzanella did not emerge until the late 1970s. Since then, it has evolved into a summer staple for anyone who has access to high-quality tomatoe

As summer approaches, it is common to hear individuals express their intention to achieve their "bikini body" through exercise, dieting, and similar efforts. At Acqua In Vino, however, we embrace a distinctly different interpretation of a bikini body. Our philosophy is simple: we aim to indulge in as many bikini sandwiches as possible before the summer concludes. If you are familiar with Spanish culture or have spent time in Spain, you will understand our perspective. The see

At this week's pairing from 5-8 p.m. tonight, Arny is set to prepare a somewhat unconventional Italian dish known as Spaghetti Alla Carrettiera, which consists of jarred or canned tomatoes, canned tuna in olive oil, and mushrooms. This recipe originated from the carrettieri, the cart drivers of Italy who, over a century ago, traveled from town to town and city to city, selling various goods that locals might require. To sustain themselves and others during their journeys, the
