Hi Tyson, My name is Jason Kaeser, I am the Store Manager of the Harry Browns Merchant Trader at Yamanto in Ipswich. I also have a small vineyard and winery, or should I say, I had a small vineyard and winery on the bank of Lockyer Creek until the flood took it all yesterday. My wife and I are absolutely heartbroken but so greatful that we just made it out alive with our three dogs. Through our two Harry Browns stores I would like to donate a total of 4 dozen bottles of wines, I will contact you as soon as possible with a list of the wines and retail value and will be contacting my suppliers and friends to support this as well.  Kind Regards, Jason Kaeser, Kaeserberg Vineyard and Winery

Hello Tyson and Mark, Thankyou for the opportunity to be of assistance to the flood disaster in QLD.

Hello again Tyson, You guys are doing a great job pulling all this together.  We are happy to donate to the cause, listed below is what I’m thinking to donate. I hope this is OK. The Blanc de Blancs is a Tasting Room product only and made using the old traditional method so I thought this might be a bit special (plus Glaetzer making a bubble at all is pretty unusual). Shiraz is just a good solid easy drinking wine. With Ben’s wine I’ve selected his two current releases, both have great accolades and reviews and they are only a very limited release, so I think whoever gets them will be pleased. If you think I would be better sending something else (different varietal like Malbec or Petit Verdot) or some older vintages please let me know and I’ll happily change it. Donation: Gipsie Jack Wine Company (John Glaetzer and Ben Potts): 1/ 1 Dozen Sparkling Blanc de Blanc Retail Value     $384.00 ($32 per bottle). 2/ 1 Dozen Shiraz Retail Value    $216.00 ($18 per bottle). Ben Potts Wines: 1/ 6 Pack 2006 ‘Fiddles Block” Shiraz (Limited Release) Retail Value    $240 ($40 per bottle). 2/ 6 Pack 2006 “Lenny’s Block” Cabernet (Limited Release) Retail Value $240 ($40 per bottle). Thanks again for organising, Lisa www.thewinehouse.com.au

Dear Tyson and Mark, Wine from one flood area to another… We can really relate to the problems in Qld, – we are completely cut off, and the team has sand-bagged the doors of the winery.  One dam has burst its banks and the main dam is only a foot from the top of the wall – our winery is directly below!  We have lost all our Cabernet and about half of the rest of the vineyard, however after seeing the disaster up north our problems seem pretty trivial. We are more than happy to donate a mixed red (over $350) and a mixed white (over $200). A really great initiative. All the best, Matthew www.mountavoca.com

Hey Tyson, nice work – we’ll throw in a case of WBB Rose ($216) and a case of 2009 Mantra Cab Sav ($300). Hope that’s OK. Let me know when/where you need it. Hope you managed to stay dry in your area? Cheers, brad www.winebybrad.com.au

Hi Tyson, Thanks for writing. I have seen your campaign being launched and would be happy for you to use pictures from our vineyard. I’ll send some through directly. Unfortunately, things are far from settled down. Today, the river is at it’s third highest peak ever recorded, which is now the third flood in less than 12 months. The water is predicted to stay at this height for several days before starting to recede. We finished picking Chardonnay grapes on Saturday and transporting them out by barge, 2 bins at a time. Ironically, it’s the largest Chardonnay crop we’ve produced. Dana www.riversandswines.com
