Acqua In Vino

A natural entrepreneur, Arnaldo (Arny) Rodriguez is President & CEO of TPS, a professional staffing firm founded in 1983 and located in downtown Wayland, MI. He envisioned a cozy shop where he could share his passion for quality wines, cheeses and meats.

In the spring of 2015, while walking downtown, Arny encountered the "old blue building north of the library" sitting empty. He imagined giving the tired and vacant space some TLC. He spent the next 9 months creating a place where shoppers could gather to enjoy tastings and pairings.

In naming the new shop, Arny hoped to convey the transformative power of community, food and faith. Nothing captured these concepts better than Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine, or as the Italians say, "acqua in vino."
