I read in the Australian that Brit Andrew Jefford has been appointed as Wine writer in residence at Adelaide University.
I'm sure he will make a very good WWIR but obviously the Oz cultural cringe has dictated that no colonial wine writers cut the proverbial mustard.

Boy, isn't that a rather oversensitive take? When Harvard invited Octavio Paz as a writer, was that a statement that no American fiction writer cut the mustard?
Yes - Australian universities also invite many overseas writers in residence. But as this is the inaugural appointment I imagined it might go to a local.
Cheers! Martin
