Honestly, I’m a little surprised. I would have expected basalt to pair with a red, and granite to pair with a white.
Tholeiites or Alkali?
I agree, though. Basalt takes a red regardless.
The faceting community would welcome anyone who wants to create a wine pairing guide for our lickable rocks.
Oh, you WOULD have the stones to say that.
Wow. Didn’t know I needed that community
STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING!
It’s a thing for geologists
A white with basalt? How gauche.
I’m gonna disagree with you and say Pinot Gris pairs far better with limestone.
Sancerre, for sure.
Limestone is super basic so I would pair with something acidic, I think white wines in general are more acidic so imma agree with op.
Frankly, I think the diacetyl from an aged chardonnay would give it good company if time isn’t an issue.
What’s this? A meme for goats?
What pairs well with coprolite?
Baby Duck
An Australian cabernet
If I have champagne do I need to lick rocks exclusively from the Champagne region of France?
No, they must come from Little Rock, Arkansas
No, but otherwise they are just sparkling Gneiss
