Buffalo Burger Wine Pairings

Wine with Bison MeatNow that you are going to be sinking your teeth into some succulent bison burgers, let’s discuss wine choices. What goes well with buffalo burgers?

Medium red wines will go with bison burgers. After all burgers are an informal type of meal, and a medium dry wine will complement the lower fat of your hamburger.

 

A great match is a medium-bodied fruity wine, like:

  • Syrah
  • Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Pinot Noir
  • A more substantial rose will also compliment the bison burger.

You can also choose more powerful wines such as:

  • Cabernets
  • Zinfandels
  • Baralos
  • Tuscan reds from Italy.

California wines are a great match too. Try:

  • Shiraz
  • Merlot

French wines such as Southern Rhône will also go with bison burgers.
