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 The Fableist Albarino with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
