About
De Nieuwe Haarlem carries a legend filled with bravery, adventure and perseverance. As one of the VOCs (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) fleet, it ploughed the oceans between continents at a time when the VOC was the world's first and mightiest multi-national corporation. From the VOC's headquarters in Amsterdam, it transported high company officials to far-away colonies. When it floundered in bad weather and ran aground near Table Bay in 1647 the heroic crew's survival and exploration of the vicinity led to the establishment of a halfway station by Jan van Riebeeck on April 6, 1652, that ultimately led to the founding of South Africa and the first vines being planted in the Cape. This wine is made from 40-year-old Cinsault bush vines, of which only ten barrels have been produced.

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 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.
