South West of France Wines and food
Because the wines are so diverse in South West of France, the food that will match these wines will be diverse as well.
Red wines are perfect with local food such as cassoulet or roasted duck. Dry white wines are very good with river fish (such as trout or salmon) or with white meat. Sweet white wines match well with Foie gras or as an aperitif. South West of France wines: 5 wines in the French Wine Guide Food of South West of France:
