Times change. How many Oz riesling makers still use cork?

I'm thinking about the 2003 vintage (or most recent release). For rieslings above $10, I can think of Leeuwin (who are changing over for 2004), Rockford, and no-one else springs to mind. Who's left?
There were still a few cheapies (sub-$8 ) under cork last time I looked, but I don't remember brands...
How small will our list be?
cheers,
Graeme

When we were at the Pikes CD in March 2003 they were giving buyers the option of the 2002 Riesling under cork or screwcap.
A group there who were served before us decided on the cork option. I was thinking of yelling out DON'T DO IT, but decided if they were that ignorant/arrogant they probably deserve copping a corked bottle.

I've remembered that Petaluma are still (in 2003) having an each-way bet.
The other is Moorilla Estate, whose 2003 riesling was in screwcap. Don't know about the 2004 yet.
cheers,
