Equipment

Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Eighty Four Albarino with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

"Close your eyes and the aromas and flavors of this wine take you to a sunny citrus orchard in bloom. In the glass is a bright, juicy blend of lemon blossom, apricot, honeysuckle, orange peel, papaya, and a pleasing touch of wet-slate minerality." — Elias Fernandez, Winemaker
