If you're going out for foie gras, having it at home, or even having a pate de foie gras, try pairing it with a Sauternes, a real one. yes Chateau d'Yquem is over $100 a split, but get a split of Suduiraut or another one, and bring it with you to the restaurant (call about corkage fee, etc). I had it once and it was amazing with the foie gras. The textures and tastes of both changed markedly when matched, the foie gras was still moist, but lost the vestige of oiliness, and the Sauternes didn't taste as sweet.
 
I thought it was amazing. Maybe you'll like it too.
