Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Terras Gaudan O Rosal Albarino Blend with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.

Greenish-yellow in color, this wine has a generous nose of ripe peach, orange peel, white flower and baked apple; the mouth is round with hints of minerality and honey. It finishes crisp and clean revealing its stunning structure and balance in acidity.
