Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun works really well 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. One wine you could try is La Marea Kristy Vineyard Albarino. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 28 dollars.
