Cajun on the menu? Try pairing with rosé Wine, Albarino, 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 Ghost Pines Sonoma County San Joaquin County Zinfandel with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
