Pronounced "pa-LEEN sih-rah," but with current events it's thought of otherwise and is leaving a bad taste for some Californians. From Serious Eats:
"It was our best selling wine before (the V.P. announcement),” said Chris Tavelli, owner of Yield Wine Bar, which has offered Palin Syrah, a certified organic wine from Chile, by the glass since July. But after Sen. John McCain tagged Sarah Palin as his running mate, sales of the wine with the conservative's inverted name plummeted—not surprising in famously liberal San Francisco.
So far, we haven't seen this wine, which is certified organic and from a small winery in the Limari Valley of northern Chile, in Los Angeles. Anyone? Anyone?

What's the difference between this wine and a '06 Luna Sangiovese? LIPSICK!!! HAW HAW HAW!
Not buying this wine because it's called Palin is just as stupid as not voting for Obama because his middle name is Hussein. Come on, people. It's not the wine's fault.
After a swig of that ya start ta talk in the tongues, ya know.
If these aren't expensive, I'd probably buy a few to give as presents.. after I took a red pen to the label and "personalized" it a bit.
If I stare at the bottle hard enough... I think I can see Russia!

Apparently it's been selling well outside of California.
