Pairing Suggestions for Gumbo?

How about something white?. How about Prosecco? My favorite is Carpene Malvoti.

I've had a nice Gumbo in Madrid some time ago and Sauvignon Blanc was a good match. But a Vouvray with its minerality, and specially if made in a tendre / demi-sec style, would be great IMHO.

My view is that any time food is spicy, I want to drink something cold with it. Beer is fine, but if I have wine, I want white. So I vote strongly for the SB over the PN.

I agree. Sauvignon Blanc wouldn't be my first choice with gumbo, but I'd take it over Pinot Noir.

I don't think I'd go with wine at all.

What about a chilled dry cider?

This weekend last I was invited to a friends place for dinner - he was cooking a spicy 'cajun' shrimp dish. Flavor was not unlike a gumbo. As I had been asked to bring the wine, I chose to pair it with an off-dry Riesling. Chose to try the 'Eroica', from Ch. St. Michelle (supposedly a venture with Loosen?).

The pairing is excellent - the off dry nature of the wine works perfectly with the spicy nature of the dish, while the aromatics of a Riesling lend a freshness to the meal.

Yes, it is a joint venture with Ernst Loosen of Dr. Loosen. I'm not at all surprised about the match, either.
