Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Grits works really well with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. 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. One wine you could try is Dr. Thanisch Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett Riesling. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

Dr. Thanisch Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett Riesling

The wine shows a pronounced bouquet of very ripe red and yellow fruits with exotic and slightly spicy notes with well-integrated acidity. The slatey minerality so typical of the Mosel adds further complexity.
