Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French works really well with Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. The Baron des Chartrons Bordeaux with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
