wine to go with spicy cajun-style shrimp

[Botafogo]

Try a Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, ice cold and lots of it. This is a fruity but not sweet, crisp but not acidic, fabulously refreshing but not expensive sparkler from NE Italy. Top producers include: Ruggeri, Bisol, Nino Franco, and Montesel. Zardetto is widely available and less than $10. the effervecence combined with the fruit acids are the BEST thing for spicy NO style food, trust me, Roberto (former Beverage Director of Antoine's in New Orleans and continuing my studies at the Bombay Cafe in LA, as a patron!)
