I bought a bottle of Pisco at Trader Joe's today. Drinking it now with Coke Zero and lime. This is great stuff. Anyone have experience with Pisco? I bought it blind, not knowing what the hell it is. I found this description just now on the wiki web:

Pisco is a colorless or yellowish-to-amber colored grape brandy produced in winemaking regions of Chile[1] and Peru.[2] Pisco was developed by Spanish settlers in the 16th century as an alternative to orujo, a pomace brandy that was being imported from Spain.[3] There are many theories about the origin of the name pisco some saying that it takes name from town of Pisco, located on the coast of Peru.[4][5][2] The first vineyards were planted in the coastal valleys in the Viceroyalty of Peru, when vine plants arrived from the Canary Islands. Even though Spain imposed many restrictions on wine production and commerce, the wine-making industry developed rapidly, such as in the corregimientos of Ica.

WTF? lol...sure is good though

Edit: I think it has some hallucinogenic properties, however. My TV looks like 3D right now, but it's 6 years old :)

I love that! When I was stationed in Hawaii the Chilean navy brought us some. Due to the fact our guys had went on deployment to South America and drank it.

I gave my neighbor an Undercrown and a scooner of Pisco and Coke Zero about an hour ago...he's now talking to his dog in Spanish and giggling like a girl. This is good stuff.
