Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun can be paired 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 Cadre Ode to Pearls Sparkling Albarino with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.
