Gansbaai Wynproegilde se onlangse byeenkoms het soos gewoonlik baie gesellig verloop. Aan die beurt was Iona Wynkelder se uniek wyne, veral hulle Pinot Noir, wat deur Werner Muller in Tolbos Bistro van Annemarie Watney aangebied is.

Om die ys te breek het Werner hulle 2014 “Sophy Terreblanch” (Sauvignon blanc) as voorsmaak aangebied. Werner is een van min suksesvolle wynmakers wat nie oorspronklik vanuit wynbou-geledere afkomstig is nie. Hy verwerf sy kwalifikasies in 2003 aan Elsenburg, Stellenbosch en sy eerste kennismaking met die wynbedryf is by Warwick Estate by Stellenbosch waar hy vir 2 jaar werk. Hy maak gebruik van vele geleenthede om oorsese ervaring op te doen en te La Crema in die Russiese Vallei in California byt die gogga van Chardonnay en Pinot Noir hom behoorlik.

Na sy terugkeer word hy as assistant wynmaker te Chamonix, Franschhoek aangestel waar hy sy passie vir Chardonnay en Pinot Noir kon uitleef. In 1998 word hy as wynmaker aangestel en kon hy voluit op hulle Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay. Pinot Noir en Estate Red Blend fokus. Die puik wyne wat daarna deur Werner te proe aangebied is, was 2014 Iona Sauvignon blanc, 2013 Iona Chardonnay, 2013 Mr P Knows Pinot Noir, 2009 Iona One Man Brand en 2012 Iona Pinot Noir - met goud en sterk silwer toekenning deur die gaste.

Annemarie se Tolbos Bistro het vir ‘n aangename atmosfeer gesorg, met Wayne Devitt (sjef) se spyskaart wat weer eens van hoogstaande gehalte was. Die bypassende voorgereg, ete en nagereg was so smaaklik soos net Wayne dit kan voorberei. Die gebruiklike blyke van waardering is soos volg hanteer: Jane Bailey aan Werner Muller (aanbieder), Philip Fourie aan Annemarie Watney (Tolbos Bistro) en Lorainne Fourie aan Wayne Devitt (sjef).
