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!

Graz Austria comes to Melbourne Australia









We were happy to make the trip to Melbourne yesterday to finally meet the 2 professors who helped us online wean Meg off her feeding tube!!
Prof Margeuritte Dunitz -Sheer & Prof Peter Sheer from University hospital Graz Austria who have spent the last 30 years or so dedicating their life to helping children with tube feeding dependancy.
About 50 families were there all with tube dependant children - a great turn up and we hope may show the powers that be that this problem is bigger than the medical profession likes to admit.
http://www.notube.at/ for more information on the Graz tube weaning clinic
Here are some pics of Meg enjoying the play picnic at the Parents session.
Anyone reading this who needs some support with tube weaning or the like can also get amazing support from a parent support site - http://www.tubefedkids.ning.com/ - there are hundreds of parents on here going through it and who have been through it who can offer support and advice.

Surprise!!!!


A wonderfull surprise came this morning from the B.U.M.S - Bright Untied Mens Shed. I called them last week to enquire if they might be able to help make us a ramp to help us get Meg in and out side.
Well less than a week later at 8.30 am this morning the guys arrived with a fantastic ramp for Meg ( see picture).
Just fantastic and saves us lifting her up and down the step.
Thanks so much to everyone at BUMS.....
We really appreciate the help.
