For each butter, mix all the ingredients together until you have a consistent color and texture.
For the Drunken Butter - cook the Cabernet Sauvignon wine until it is reduced to 1/4 cup. Cool it and them mix into the butter together with the mushrooms.
Notes
Mixed herbs in the Provencale butter are: rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage.
The caloric calculation is based on all butters together. If you're interested in the caloric value of these butters, I would suggest to just take the butter into your calculation. The additional ingredients are small and will not make a significant contribution.
Each compound butter is made from 4 oz. of unsalted butter = approx. 100 calories and 11.5 grams of fat.
If you prefer salted butter, just add your preferred amount.
