The artist's sketch (by Shelley Witters) was based on a photograph I took of Rod some years back - as you say, it captures him to a T. Thanks Phil!

Malbec came up in discussion, as indeed did Dr Rod's name, and it seems that Australia does not yet have any Argentine clones of Malbec cleared through quarantine. Some cuttings are currently in quarantine with another year to go before release. It will be fascinating to taste TW's "Dr Rod" Malbec (the label has caught him rather nicely I feel) against, say, a Millton Vineyards Malbec.
