Trilobites and wine?

I was tempted to just post this picture with the title of William Fevre Petit Chablis, much like the good folk of Chateau Petrogasm do. I wanted to do it, to add at least one photographic 'tasting note' to the mix before someone finally laughs out "but the Emperor's got no clothes, he is naked. . ."

In the end I opted not to, out of respect for the fossil record. Chablis after all is famed for soil rich in fossilised oysters from the Kimmeridgian era and not trilobite from the much earlier Cambrian period.

I do think though, that a good flinty Chablis would combine rather well with a barbecued trilobite. . .

yes, you would definitely have been caught if you tried passing off a trilobite pic for a chablis...
