Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French on the menu? Try pairing 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 Les Hauts de Lagarde Bordeaux Blanc with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
