Reuben-Style Casserole with Pastrami Meatballs, Sauerkraut and Barley
The Reuben is one of my favorite sandwiches – one I usually eat with a Dr. Brown’s cream soda! But Rachael's dish is so flavorful and hearty, so you have a few options. If going with wine, an aromatic wine like a Gewürztraminer would be a great choice. It’s a northern Italian grape with a German sounding name. It’s full of exotic spice flavors that will pair well with the sauerkraut component and all the spices. Try the J. Hofstatter Gewürztraminer or something from New York State like Dr. Konstantin Frank (about $11). Beer is an excellent choice as well. I'd go with something a little bit darker, but not too heavy, such as the Sixpoint Righteous Rye.
