Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Cajun. 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 Bodega Garzon Uruguay Single Vineyard Albarino. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
