Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are my top picks for French. 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. One wine you could try is Chateau Jalousie Beaulieu Bordeaux Superieur. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
