I'm gonna disagree with you and say Pinot Gris pairs far better with limestone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

Sancerre, for sure.

I've got a bag of it to share, homie, but I'm going to re-inflate it and use it as my camping pillow tonight.

The faceting community would welcome anyone who wants to create a wine pairing guide for our lickable rocks.

Wow. Didn't know I needed that community

[–] AgentOrangesicle 2 points 8 months ago

Oh, you WOULD have the stones to say that.

A white with basalt? How gauche.

What's this? A meme for goats?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I’m a little surprised. I would have expected basalt to pair with a red, and granite to pair with a white.

[–] AgentOrangesicle 2 points 8 months ago

Tholeiites or Alkali?

I agree, though. Basalt takes a red regardless.

If I have champagne do I need to lick rocks exclusively from the Champagne region of France?

[–] NegativeLookBehind 6 points 8 months ago

No, they must come from Little Rock, Arkansas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

No, but otherwise they are just sparkling Gneiss

It's a thing for geologists

Amber pairs very well with retsina.
