Best Wine to Pair with Beef on Weck

Buffalo's signature roast beef sandwich deserves a serious bottle. Here's what we pour at home — and what to avoid.

Beef on weck is rich, salty, savory, and sharp from horseradish. The best wine pairing needs enough structure for the beef without overwhelming the sandwich.

Top Pairings

  1. Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Côtes du Rhône: Savory spice and dark fruit work well with roast beef and au jus.
  2. Cabernet Sauvignon: Dark fruit and structure fit the beef, especially with a moderate-oak style.
  3. Brunello di Montalcino: Acidity and dried-cherry character suit a more serious dinner.
  4. Malbec: A softer, fruit-forward option at an approachable price.
  5. Bourbon: A neat pour can also work, especially in cold weather.

What to Avoid

Very light reds can disappear beside the beef, while heavily oaked whites may clash with horseradish. Personal preference still matters.
