Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Rose Wine, Albarino

Sauvignon Blanc, rosé Wine, and Albarino are my top picks for Po Boy. 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 Gamble Family Vineyards Gamble Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Lively aromas of honeyed elderflower, spiced apple and citrus marmalade. Crisp and refreshing acidity married with an unctuous oily mouthfeel support flavors of baked pear, lime and jasmine. The finish is long with complex mineral, white pepper and citrus notes.
