Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rose Wine, Albarino

Sauvignon Blanc, rosé Wine, and Albarino are my top picks for Jambalaya. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux

Light golden in color with vibrant aromas and flavors of baked apple, white cherry and lemon meringue. From gourmet caviar and oysters to popcorn, Faire la Fête is a versatile wine that pairs well with a range of dishes and cuisines. Try with an Asian pear salad, spicy tuna rolls, or pork chops and applesauce.Blend: 70% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc, 10% Pinot Noir
