Recommended wine: Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

French on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try Nature's Revenge Pet Nat rosé. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

Notes of raspberry and wild berries with some hints of grapefruit. After a few minutes, the wine will display some clementine and white peach aromas. The wine is truly alive. The wine is mouth-filling silky and dry (there is no residual sugar) but the fruitiness in the palate tends to make you think differently – the acidity is moderate, and the final goes onto fig jam hints with a tiny touch of saltiness (like an ocean breeze).
