Professional Profile Dr. Philip Norrie was born in Sydney, Australia in 1953. He was educated at Knox Grammar School in Sydney’s Upper North Shore, where he gained the History and Geography prizes each year. In his final year, he gained the distinction of the Sports and Studies prize for the best all rounder. Dr. Norrie’s father was Mervyn Norrie, an Industrial Chemist, who attended Harvard University and became General Manager of Union Carbide Australasia, as well as Cofounder and Chairman of the Board of Memtec. In the late 1930’s Mervyn Norrie assisted Professor Lemburg, a haemotologist at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, in the world’s first crystallization of an enzyme, when they isolated catalase. In 1971 Dr. Norrie began his medical studies at the University of New South Wales, where he trained and did his internship at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney - famous as Australia’s Heart Transplant Hospital. After gaining his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees, Dr. Norrie gained an Australian Family Planning Association Certificate in 1980 and established his own solo family/general practice surgery in Sydney’s famous Northern Beaches Region. In 1986, Dr. Norrie started to pursue his great interest in wine and health by researching the biographies of all the over 180 doctors in Australia, who have founded vineyards, resulting in a book called “Australia’s Wine Doctors”. (This extremely high proportion of doctors is unique to Australia). From this basic research have come four other books, namely “Vineyards of Sydney”in 1990, which re-wrote the history of Australia’s earliest wine industry, “Lindeman” in 1993, which was the official Company history of the Lindeman wine group, “Penfold” in 1994, the history of Australia’s largest wine company and “Leo Buring”, the history of Australia’s First Wine Authroity, published in 1996. In 1992, Dr. Norrie became the first graduate from the newly formed History and Philosophy of Science Department
