Together with Wine Chips

LAS PAPITAS MAS BOLD, CHEESY Y MAS SATISFYING QUE VAS A ENCONTRAR

Creamos Wine Chips porque amamos el vino y el queso (¿quién no?). Pero poner el queso dentro del vino no era una buena idea.

Así que una noche del 2017, mientras nos tomamos una copa de vino ( o dos) comenzamos a pensar en algo simple, portable, snack-able, cheesy y bien rico.

Y así, nació wine chips (ok, después de mucho trabajo, muchos samples y consejeros). Haz click aquí para hacer tu orden de Wine Chips para tu próximo party.

📋 People that Made our History

Roberto Clemente 

Roberto Clemente was born on August 18, 1934, in Carolina, Puerto Rico. From a young age, he showed great talent for baseball. At 17, he began his professional career, and in 1955, he joined the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he played his entire Major League career.

Clemente was known for his batting skill and strong arm in the field. He won 12 Gold Gloves and was selected 15 times for the All-Star Game. Besides being a great player, he was a dedicated humanitarian, helping needy communities and fighting for social justice.

In 1972, while delivering aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, the plane he was on crashed, and Clemente lost his life. Despite his tragic death, his legacy lives on. He was the first Latin American inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and his number 21 is remembered with pride.

Roberto Clemente is a hero and a role model for everyone.
