About
An earthy Pinot Noir with a bouquet of red cherry, Italian herbs and light spice on the palate. The mineral sensation in Baleia’s wines is an expression of the natural salts found in the unique soils and prepares the palate beautifully. Elegant white meat dishes do this wine justice – serve slightly chilled. This wine will benefit from decanting

Humble bragging. How is this still a thing?
You know the type. They'll say something along the lines of "I really miss my old Chevy Spark. This Audi SUV is so much harder to park."
Rest assured they don't miss that Chevy AT ALL. They just want you to know that they spent truckloads of cash on the latest Audi, but they want to come across as really casual because somehow that makes them cooler. Or something.
You'd think the complete lack of any complimentary responses would put an end to this type of self-appreciation, but if anything it's happening more and more.
We'd love to come up with an effective solution to it (honestly, it's what the world needs) but we're waaay too busy running a successful eCommerce company to actually invest the time.
Did you know we're also getting our PhDs on the side? No big deal.
