Fine Wine Meets Cutting-Edge Art at Yilena Hernandez’s Newly Opened Contemporary Italian Restaurant in Baton Rouge
The international supermodel’s newly opened concept restaurant, Pizza Art Wine, at Ichiban Square offers authentic Italian cuisine paired with an extensive range of fine wine and striking exhibitions from local artists.
BATON ROUGE, La., February 16, 2023 (Newswire.com) – The new restaurant, at 7673 Perkins Rd Suite C-1, Baton Rouge, is now open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with live music on Thursday and Friday nights. Pizza Art Wine offers elegant Italian small plates, sandwiches, salads, pizzas cooked in an on-site traditional brick pizza oven, desserts, and an extensive by-the-glass wine list. All alongside cutting-edge exhibitions from emerging and established local artists.
The wine is one of the Pizza Art Wine highlights, featuring a carefully curated selection of European and local vintages with a particular focus on Italian offerings. Most notable are the state-of-the-art machines which dispense a glass of wine at a time without compromising quality and allow customers to taste their way around the Mediterranean.
Commenting on the opening, Cuban fashionista, supermodel and actress Hernandez says, “My job has taken me all over the world, and along the way I have fallen in love with art and the Mediterranean lifestyle. That has been my inspiration to create the Pizza Art Wine concept. We’re here to offer a Mediterranean experience for all the senses and to share that southern European love for fine wine, fine food, and fine art. In essence, we’re bottling up and serving La Dolce Vita for our customers to share here in Louisiana. We’re on track to be the best pizza restaurant in Louisiana.
“The restaurant is a meeting place for wine connoisseurs who want to taste their way around the boutique vineyards of Europe, a place for art lovers to discuss and admire contemporary works, and a place for friends and family to catch up in cool, Mediterranean-style surroundings.
“Pizza Art Wine offers a new concept for Baton Rouge nightlife and I’m excited to bring the depth of Italian cuisine and culture I have loved so much on my travels to the heart of Louisiana.”
The new restaurant in Baton Rouge has been inspired by model Yilena Herndandez’s international lifestyle. The Cuban supermodel draws on some of her favorite international culinary experiences and has worked alongside a passionate team of chefs to create a food and cultural concept with a strong Mediterranean base. Her 800,000-plus followers on social media will be excited to hear she is regularly involved in the day-to-day running of the restaurant. Find out more at: https://www.instagram.com/pizza_art_wine/.

Introducing Bikini Island: A Spirits-Based, Ready-to-Drink Canned Cocktail with Nuclear Flavor
Party Like It’s the End of the World with Four Explosive Flavors and only 100 Calories per Can
LOUISVILLE, Ky. /PRNewswire/ — Bikini Island has now landed, and it’s here to deliver nuclear flavor! The new line of ready-to-drink cocktails contains 5% ABV and just 100 calories per can. Launching with four refreshingly bold flavors, Bikini Island offers consumers a better-for-you RTD that features real spirits and explosive taste.
Bikini Island will launch in select markets mid-April, and nationwide later this year, retailing at $19.99 for a Variety Pack of eight canned cocktails featuring four explosive flavors: Citrus Charge – vodka based, Blue Razz Explosion – vodka base, Watermelon Blast – tequila based, and Nuclear Pineapple – rum based.
With the spirits-based RTD category growing 55% in the last year alone, consumers are showing a clear preference for premiumization in addition to seeking out full-flavor (IWSR, 2023). There is an opportunity in the better-for-you space with current options lacking excitement and flavor. Consumers want the real deal with spirits-based products and when picking something off the shelves, however, they’re often forced to pick between great tasting flavor or lower calorie option – until now.
“Consumers are leading more health-conscious lifestyles, but that doesn’t mean they want to sacrifice fun or flavor,” said Don Deubler, CEO of Atomic Brands. “We saw a unique opportunity to capitalize on the white space and set out to do the seemingly impossible for consumers: create a low cal, spirits-based RTD that still packs a ton of nuclear flavor.”
“Aside from new items representing the largest share of sales within the RTD category, we know multipacks are shown to increase consumer’s average annual spend and trips to stores over 2x” said Deubler. “Bikini Island is an explosive brand and we’re excited to see the response!”
Inspired by the historical events at Bikini Island in the 1940’s and 50’s that led the world into the atomic and nuclear era, Bikini Island Cocktail Company is now bringing the seltzer world into explosive nuclear flavors at 100 calories a can.
