Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Grits. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. The Westport Winery "Ancient Mariner" Riesling & Pear wine blend (Benefits Coastal Animal Rescue and Adoption) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
