Wine Drinkers Balk at a Chilean Wine With Hints of Alaska

An organic wine from Chile has oenophiles in San Francisco turning up their noses. But there’s nothing wrong with the wine. It’s the name that bothers them:

Palin Syrah.

The wine from a boutique vineyard in Chile was once a strong seller, but now it’s an outcast in the City by the Bay because its name comes way too close to a certain governor from the state of Alaska, says Celine Guillou, co-owner of the Yield Wine Bar.

Palin Syrah — pronounced Pay-LEEN — takes its name from a ball used in a Chilean-style hockey game, and it has been on the bar’s wine list for a while. But sales have plummeted ever since John McCain named Sarah Palin to be his running mate.

I bet the 2004 Kerry Merlot is bitter and sour...

[FrdmLvr]

This is a joke, right?

[Diogenesis]

So what.
Americans from all over the USA will buy it up.

The morons in San Francisco can keep supporting their
terrorists, and letting their dead trees and live
illegal aliens kill even more innocent, productive people.

One wonders what kind of parenting produced such immature creatures. Then, you see Paris Hilton doing her latest schtick and your question is answered.

THEY GOT NONE!!

So now, these useless consumers of finite resources are foisted upon us. Thanks to those who should have been sterilized at 10.

Leftists and liberals achieve new heights of irrationality. As though a Chilean wine called Palin Syrah has anything to do with Sarah Palin. They better not touch it, they might get cooties. They’re being juvenile.

[dfwgator]

Such a tolerant bunch.

[xp38]

The label to look for

[2Jedismom]

How silly, huh?

“An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure.”

Now that I’ve said that...where can I get the wine?

:-)

LOL

[Ignatz]

Liberals: Poor vocabularies, can’t spell, can’t read, and all symbolism over substance.

[JZelle]

petty, effete snobs

[Allegra]

But it gives them thrills up their legs when they see how

Obama-Biden

looks kind of like Osama bin Laden.

[unixfox]

If the label was 0bama, it would be heralded as the best wine in the world!!

[Karliner]

They’re being juvenile.

well...*ahem*...true, always have been. Liberalism only works as far as the trust funds stretch, and when it's all gone, they must work then become right wingers about as fast as you can say " SPARE CHANGE."

Here is a link to a wine bar in S.F. that reports that Palin Syra was there best seller before Gov. Palin burst onto the scene: http://www.yieldsf.com/inside/location_contact.html

Also, here is an email that I sent them, offering to help them out of their wine crisis:

Hello,

If you are having trouble selling your Palin Syra, would you be interested in selling some to me and my friends? I am hosting a moose BBQ at my home in Texas on November 4.

[HamiltonJay]

Just goes to show libs and leftists are driven by emotion and not reason and are absolute idiots.... Might also be why the Castro is so opposed to bush.

“Liberals: Poor vocabularies, can’t spell, can’t read, and all symbolism over substance.”

And irrationality over reason.

From the article...

You have to appreciate San Francisco for what it is, I guess.”

NOT!

[Inclines to the Right]

Shouldn’t it be pronounced paw leen?

With San Francisco’s sanctuary policy, they should know how to pronounce this word by now. lol

[dmz]

LOL. I love it when a headline and the story have no connection. One wine seller is quoted only as saying people are talking about it. No sales information provided by the seller. The wholesaler indicates that sales are stable.
