Pisco is a spirit made from grapes and is popular in Chile. It tastes more like tequila than wine. I had this drink at Sabroso. A nice summer drink. I have seen Pisco at some local liquor stores.

Once had some Pisco from Chile, a student brought it up with him. Drank a bottle of it in the mountains and sang Dr. Hook, was a good night.
