Palin Syrah — The Most Unpopular Wine in California

It’s not just a bunch of Democrats who aren’t so thrilled about McCain’s VP candidate. The proprietors of a wine bar in San Francisco, California are pissed that their once best selling wine “Palin Syrah” has taken a popularity hit.

“It was our best selling wine before (the V.P. announcement),” the owner sighed when asked about the beverage debacle.

Could it be that people aren’t ordering Palin Syrah on principal? “People started making suggestions [about what the wine tastes like] like gunpowder, moose meat, hockey mom – the list goes on and on.” The bar owner is quoted as saying. “It’s funny, but it’s all we’ve heard for the last couple weeks.”

Who knows, maybe Obama or Biden or McCain himself will get a liquor sort of named after them — just to make things even. It could be funny, especially if they make some kind of crazy mixed liquor concoction and call it “ObamaRama.” Imagine ordering that a bar?
