Palin Syrah

Well balanced wine with plenty of complexity. Clean and refreshing. Plenty of depth and up front fruit. Long pleasant finish. Goes well with food and is especially good at cutting through Obama slime and Biden grease. Not to be used liberally.

Probably cost a whole lot more too.

Where can I get a bottle or two or three of that? It will go perfectly with the crow pie I’m planning to serve my dembot family members at Thanksgiving!

(I’m serious!)

Already tried. Each wine seller is sold out - even at the case price.

Currency translation, rising prices—it’s too painful!

Then, the wine gods heard our cries and gave us Palin.

Expressive Syrah from northern Chile with red and blue fruit.

Enjoy on its own or with a burger.

They won’t ship to Georgia, which is too bad. I’ll try to get my local wine shop to order some in. Thanks for your help!

...we’re in San Francisco, so most of the people we have in I’m going to suspect are fairly liberal. People like to joke about it, but for some people it evokes quite a visceral reaction,” Guillou said.

Interesting, I joke about liberals but am repulsed by them. This wine wasn't even named in jest or topically. And the Left got their panties in a wad over "FREEDOM" Fries as the French were taking payoffs from Saddam Hussein?!!

I’ve always said that, everything about symbolism is superficial.

So damn stupid.

All the best in obtaining some. I think my chances are much less than yours.

This is a joke, right?

Left wing fundamentalists are a humorless bunch. If I remember correctly the San Francisco Chronicle dropped Beetle Bailey from the comic pages several years ago due to reader complaints about it being set in the military.

Who cares what those LGBT-loving cheese-eating San Fran surrender monkeys think!

They are a humorless bunch, aren’t they? I wonder if they would find this funny: I like Barack Obama cuz I can belch his name. Try it. It works!

Still, bet it sells better than the Bobbit Sausage Company's product after another unfortunate name link.

Thank you Mad Magazine.

That’s the one I tried. They won’t ship to GA. I’d be glad to buy a few bottles from you and pay the shipping, though, if you’re willing - just FReepmail. Thanks!

Palin Syrah.

Catchy name. I've always been kind of fond of Chilean wines... maybe I'll have hubby pick up a couple bottles so we can enjoy them once this newest babe is born.

Yes... the label to look for.
