Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rose Wine, Albarino

Gumbo works really well with Sauvignon Blanc, rosé Wine, and Albarino. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try Freemark Abbey Sauvignon Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.

Freemark Abbey Sauvignon Blanc

The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is pretty with a light greenish straw color. The initial aroma is white peach, with lemon grass, subtle mandarin orangeand a slight oak spice. The flavor expresses a minerality complimenting fruit components of citrus, green melon, lemon grass and mandarin orange.
