White Wine & Tarragon Butter:
Combine 1-1/2 cups dry white wine, 3 Tbsp minced shallots and 1/8 tsp pepper in medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer about 30 minutes or until reduced to about 3 Tbsp.

Place 12-inch long piece plastic wrap on work surface. Spoon butter mixture lengthwise over plastic wrap; roll up tightly forming 2-inch thick log. Twist ends of plastic wrap to seal. Freeze or refrigerate 2 hours.

Mayonnaise:
Whisk 3 egg yolks and 3/4 tsp kosher salt in mixing bowl. Continue whisking while adding 3/4 cup olive oil a drop at a time. When mixture thickens considerably, add remaining olive oil and 3/4 cup vegetable oil in small amounts, whisking constantly during each addition until fully incorporated. Whisk in 2 to 3 tsp lemon juice and 2 to 3 tsp minced garlic. Cover and refrigerate.

Roasted Tomato Slices:
Brush grill with 1 tsp olive oil. Cut 6 plum tomatoes lengthwise into 4 slices. Place tomato slices on hot grill rack. Drizzle 1 Tbsp olive oil over tomatoes; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Grill for about 30 minutes over medium heat; cool. (Tomatoes should still be moist.) Cover and refrigerate till ready to serve.
