Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun on the menu? Try pairing 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. One wine you could try is Joyce Vineyards Albarino. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

The brisk and steely Spanish style Albariño is vividly fresh with heighten aromatics and racy acidity. Crisp and refreshing with tart green apple, white peach and zesty citrus fruits, along with wet sones, apricot pit and a mouth watering saline making for a great summer sipper.
