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.
“Before McCain made his announcement it was selling very well, because it’s an affordable wine and it’s from South America,” Guillou said. “Then he made his announcement and we hear people making comments constantly about the wine.”

Typical whine-o reaction.....
This cuts both ways, doesn’t it? The liberals won’t want this wine now, but maybe conservatives might buy much more of it due to its name.
How shallow is this of the liberals, though? They know that the name has nothing to do with Sarah Palin. Yet they are avoiding the wine just because of that? These intellectually superior liberals would reject a wine they like just because of the name? They know the vineyard which produces it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin and they reject it anyway?
Ah, the Whine and Brie crowd shows how much they embrace the darkness and fear the light.
:-P
Que Syrah, Syrah ............
Instead of complaining, the bar owner should be arranging a trade with someone in a republican area and they’d both make a small fortune.
I’LL TAKE IT! Be glad to relieve the offended of any such stock they have...
They're a bunch of Fat Bastards................
Huh? Shallow, petty liberals... in San Francisco?
Who could’ve predicted ~that~?
I wonder how well it goes with mooseburgers?
Cowards in a Brave new World?
In keeping with their new policy of basing preferences on perceived similarities to names of candidates, many in San Francisco are now enjoying a dish Potatoes Obama Bin Au Graten.
And Palin Derangement Syndrome continues unabated ....

This wine’s page from the only American importer of it. They seem to sell only to retailers and restauranteurs. Couldn’t find a website for the Palin winery down in Chile. Maybe if any Freepers own a restaurant or store or know someone who does they could work out a deal with the importer. :) I’d buy a bottle to crack open on November 5th.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
