Black Pearl Rosé 2011 vintage, NOW ON SALE!!!!

MEG - OUR LITTLE PEARL NEEDS YOU HELP.
Meg is 4 years old and has spastic Quadreplegic Cerebal Palsy.
We are launching the second release of Meg's rosé wine called Black Pearl.
The idea for this fundraising effort came from winemaker & family friend Eleana Anderson of Mayford Wines (www.mayfordwines.com) who has lovingly donated her time and resources.
This wine is made from donated grapes grown in the Alpine Valleys by Mayford & Michelini wines, (www.micheliniwines.com.au) and bottled with assistance from Ringer Reef Wines (www.ringerreef.com.au) and picked, bottled, labeled and packed by volunteers.
A big, huge thank you to all those who gave their time and assistance.
The rosé was certainly made with love, you can taste it in every bottle!
The funds raised from the sale of this wine will be used for Megs future needs,
including this year the purchase of her first wheelchair.
For sale at Alpine Visitor Centres, in Bright, Mt Beauty & Myrtleford, & Food, Wine, Friends in Bright or print the order form below and we will deliver! Please help us to help Meg. For wine enquiries please email Kate - casleyke@bigpond.com. Enjoy!

Big thanks to Ringer Reef winery Porepunkah





Bruce & Annett from Ringer Reef winery in Porepunkah - near Bright

www.ringerreef.com.au are generously going to donate some of the Grapes for Meg's Rose this year.

For those who don't know my dear friend Elena Anderson from Mayford wines in Porepunkah www.mayfordwines.com.au. has offered to make Meg 100 doz bottles of Rose to be named "Black pearl" (read back in the blog for the Black Pearl story) each year as an annual fundraiser to help support Meg's ongoing equipment and therapy needs.

The costs to produce the wine were going to come out first, then any profits donated to the MegAid trust. The donation of Grapes means our wine production costs will be substantially reduced.

Along with this, last week a group of local mums got together to actually pick some of the grapes for Meg from Eleana's vineyard, again substantially reducing the production costs for Meg's rose "Black Pearl".



I am so overwhelmed with the generosity and kindness from my community, friends and aquaintances. I cant thank any of you enough, not only for what you are actually doing physically to help and and assist our family, but for the way my heart feels when I am told of yet another amazingly kind and generous offer. It certainly eases our burden knowing that you are all out there doing as much as you can to help our family out, for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.



We will be looking for volunteers to pick the grapes from Ringer Reef soon, anyone who would like to come along for a few hours to chat, laugh & pick you would be most welcome. Please contact me on 0427003125 if you might be able to help.
