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. The Amelia Brut rosé Cremant de Bordeaux with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
