New World vs Old World Chardonnay: how New Zealand wine took on the establishment, plus Geoff Scott's simple snapper and mushroom cooking.

In this episode of our "prodcast" (thank Geoff for that piece of audio gold), chef Geoff Scott and Scott Wilson explore Chardonnay, the ultimate example of provenance. It's the same grape grown in different regions, and each has its own identity. Will the Scotts pick a favourite?

In the kitchen, Geoff brings the Ratatouille "anyone can cook" philosophy, settles the wash-or-wipe mushroom debate, and shares his best tip: keep it simple and don't do too much. We finish with our Sticky Questions, so you'll leave knowing how to be the perfect dinner guest.

The wines: Queen of Swords Chardonnay from the very talented Ashleigh Barrowman at Siren Wine, as well as the Dicey Chardonnay from one of Scott’s favourite wine makers Matt Dicey.  Again our wines were chosen from By the Bottle, our favourite little local in Mt Eden.

The food: Ora’s Farm Mushrooms and freshly caught snapper – a big shout-out to Callum, mate of Geoff’s son Sam for the kai moana of Whakatāne.

NZ Chardonnay royalty: Michael Brajkovich, the GOAT from Kumeu River Wines, Tony Bish  of Fat & Sassy fame, and Helen Masters from Ata Rangi. A special mention to friend of the show Kristy Sze, award winning ice cream maker at First Mates Last Laughs for her part in the  potato chip and wine matching debate.
