Trained as a sommelier
Formal training by ABS Rio Grande do Sul and four years of practice.
Our story
Paolla Belliene
Sommelier, entrepreneur, mother of two — and the hand behind every Petszi.
Paolla Belliene is a sommelier trained by ABS Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil, with four years behind the counter of her own wine store.
She has been married for fifteen years and is the mother of two girls, Petra and Perla. They are the reason behind every colorful piece that leaves the atelier.
More than sixteen countries — for work, for study, for the pure pleasure of the table — taught her that wine is never only about the bottle. It is about the people, the animals and the small rituals around it.
For the past year her home has been Greater Boston, where she kept consulting and hosting private and corporate wine evenings.
WINE PETSZI is where all of it meets: wine, dogs and children, turned into collectible 3D-printed miniatures. Each one is modeled, printed, sanded and hand-painted by her — craft and precision serving memory.
“The bottles we remember are always tied to the people — and the pets — who were in the room.”
