Palin Syrah Second-Guessing Unfortunate Name

So you heard it hear first, apparently Sarah Palin, the reclusive Republican VP candidate and Alaskan Governor doesn't really go over well with most people in San Francisco. OK, maybe a few other people have come to that conclusion . . . but anyway. There's a particularly good Chilean organic wine named Palin Syrah which is suffering at the hands of San Fran's liberal elites.

According to a story published recently at Decanter, the Yield Wine Bar in San Francisco has seen a marked decrease in sales of the lovely little wine, and some folks are even organizing a boycott. To be fair, the wine was around before Ms. Palin was ever making headlines and not giving interviews. Seems a little bit harsh to hate on a good wine just because of an unfortunate name. If the Republicans end up winning the election in November, it may be high time for the vintners to think about re-branding. Time will tell, I suppose.
