Recommended wine: Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

French works really well 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. The Terra Blanca "ONYX" Mountain Bordeaux Blend with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 103 dollars per bottle.

Terra Blanca "ONYX" Mountain Bordeaux Blend

Raspberry and cherry with notes of violets lift from the glass and mingle with soft spice and toasted oak on the nose. Smooth, lush flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and cassis wrap around a core of full, yet soft, structured tannins. Cedar notes with light touches of spice fold into lingering cherry and berry flavors surrounded by a sea of rich chocolate on the palate.
