Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rose Wine, Albarino

Sauvignon Blanc, rosé Wine, and Albarino 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 Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc

Showcasing expressive minerality, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc is marked by a powerful aromatic intensity and a wide aromatic spectrum, with herbal, citric and tropical notes. It is fresh on the palate, offering a crisp, tangy acidity and a juicy, citric finish. Pair with crab cakes, chicken tarragon or mussels.
