This week, Tom and Wade (from different drop) are joined by a very special guest: Nic Peterkin from L.A.S. Vino for a Chenin Blanc Showdown for the ages! Nic is the mastermind behind the world-first International Chenin Blanc Symposium and Sausage Sizzle, and he's here to guide us through our latest 110-point Varietal Showdown. While sipping on Nic's ripping 2025 CBDB Chenin Blanc, we discuss how Australian Chenin is taking on the world stage. Nic shares the secrets to top-tier Chenin: 20+ year old vines to control over-yielding, no irrigation, and organic farming. Then, things get spicy. We put three premium Australian Chenins up against three international heavyweights from France, South Africa, and New Zealand in a blind tasting battle. Will the international icons reign supreme, or will Western Australia and McLaren Vale pull off an epic upset?
