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

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.

What pairs well with coprolite?

An Australian cabernet

Baby Duck

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

Oh, you WOULD have the stones to say that.

A white with basalt? How gauche.

What's this? A meme for goats?

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.

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

No, but otherwise they are just sparkling Gneiss

It's a thing for geologists

Amber pairs very well with retsina.
