Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc
Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try D'Alfonso-Curran Albarino. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.
