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 east to the Pacific Ocean.
One variety of syrah wine from this region is sold under the name "Palin". Its spelled P-A-L-I-N -- 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?
