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. You could try La Marea Kristy Vineyard Albarino. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 28 dollars per bottle.
