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 Chateau Feret Lambert Bordeaux Superieur with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
