Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun works really well 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 Paco & Lola Celebration Albarino with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
