We have just received notification that the Todds (IP and Atlantic) have started a lava vineyard in New Zealand. The combination of rain coupled with volcanic heat is so simple that it is of great surprise that nobody thought of it before. This is the essence of all growth. Hence vanilla. Due to the worldwide acceptance of Rothschild wine and money, the fruits have been named "Roth".

The above (preview) photograph is an exclusive one. Clearly in the mists one can see the consummate vineyards. To approach the grapes, one approaches gingerly. Due to the immense heat of the volcano, grapes are crushed directly into a glass for the making of hot "toddies" without an external source of heat.

There is the possibility that The Todds will put background music on when visiting their wine estates.

This gives birth to "The melodious grapes of Roth".
