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. You could try Domaines Barons de Rothschild Reserve Speciale Bordeaux Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
