Compound butters, such as the one included here, make for easy saucing of almost anything grilled or roasted. They can be made ahead and stored frozen for a few months until you need them.  This is one of my favorite compound butters and this dish would be fantastic with 2020 Owsley Pinot Noir with its rich, meaty flavors.

Reminiscent of one of the great Southern dishes, be sure to use regular stone ground grits and not the quick cooking variety. Flavor and texture are much better. My two favorite producers are Anson Mills and Weisenberger. This dish works well with the 2020 Vine Hill Pinot Noir.
