Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun can be paired with Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Joyce Vineyards Albarino with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
