Jambalaya is a popular Cajun dish traditionally made with rice and simmered with meats such as pork, andouille sausage, or shrimp. In this recipe, I substituted linguini for the rice, and chicken and andouille sausage were my proteins of choice. I also added a can of diced tomatoes along with a healthy dash of hot sauce. Of course, you can always tailor the level of spice to your own preference. I paired this dish with wines from Silver Dog Vineyard in Hume, Virginia. Watch the video to the end to find out which wines I selected.  Be sure to like, subscribe and comment. Cheers!

(Oh–what do y’all think of the new header on Virginia Wine Time?  It was time for an upgrade, and I thank my friend Margaret for the new and improved look.)
