Surfs up, and nothing is down for Pieter Walser!
Another one of the organisation’s heroes is Pieter Walser – a winemaker and businessman with brilliant sales strategies and mottos. Pieter shames bystanders whether on a surfboard or cycling his way to vineyards in the Cape Winelands. He was diagnosed with epilepsy only a few years ago and decided to “get right back out there” and overcame the obstacles presented to him and his family. He is a proud husband and father of two beautiful kids.
Two of Pieter’s wines were recently selected by Woolworths to become an in-store wine. While this is an achievement in itself, the Parlotones also added to his repertoire by requesting his hand in a wine with their label. They are already working on a second wine to follow on the first. Read all about this on his homepage at www.blankbottle.co.za Walk with him through his days and see that he is a “normal” person that only works very hard.
Thank you for your support and donations Pieter, your motivation is spread through Cape Town and your story told all over the world. (Picture included was kindly authorized for use by Thys Lombard)
