Anything from a Sauvignon Blanc to a rose' to a Pinot Noir

I think rose' would actually be a good call.

look for something with lower alcohol (under 13% would be ideal), medium to low tannins and some nice bright acidity. maybe find a Riesling if you want to go white or a light red like a Zinfandel. Broc Cellars Vine Starr Zinfandel is distributed in Louisiana and would be nice w/ it. If you want a Riesling you can find around south La maybe seek out the 2010 Louis Guntrum Riesling which is really solid and only about $20 bucks.

Spicy Cajun food usually calls for a white with a touch if residual sugar and great aromatics. I would go Alsace first off and varietal would be Pinot Gris or Gewürztraminer. Viognier could work but I don't honestly think it would be as good of a choice. If you wanted a fun rose wine, try and find a ramato style Pinot Grigio from Italy. All the fruit with just enough body and skin contact. For an obscure selection, Moschofilero from Greece would be awesome. Falls automatically between Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris.

I had a Riesling with my Crawfish Quartet the other night....paired well.
