Wine: Talamonti Trebì, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2012 — €13.99

FOLLOWING on from last week’s theme of wines to match spicy food, a number of the ones recommended this week were tasted over an excellent meal in the long-established Indonesian restaurant Chameleon in Temple Bar.

While not all the dishes we tried were spicy, the exotic flavours suited the white wines of the Gascon estate Domaine du Tariquet exceptionally well.

Tariquet’s crisp fragrant “Classic” Cotes de Gascogne is one of the best selling French white wines in the world but is only available in Ireland since late 2013.
