Recommended wine: Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

French works really well with Champagne, Bordeaux, 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 Selbach Oster Riesling Kabinett with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Selbach Oster Riesling Kabinett

A crackly, starched and impeccable Kabinett; very limey-herbal; especially appley and minerally; stern minty finish. Goes with anything you like in the poultry, shellfish and seafood cuisine, especially if accompanied by cream- or butter based sauces. Great with summer salads and with Pacific Rim Cuisine.
