Today's Geo Quiz is about wine from Chile. The South American nation has many wine-growing regions. Most are in the middle and southern parts of the country. But today we're looking for a region in Chile's NORTHERN half. It's in a valley that runs from the foothills of the Andes west to the Pacific Ocean. One variety of syrah wine from this region is sold under the name "Palin." It's pronounced pah-LEEN, but it's spelled just like Governor Sarah Palin's last name. That's affected sales in the U-S. But where in Chile does the wine come from?
