Pisco is a liquor made predominantly in Peru, Chile, and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. A famous drink is the Pisco Sour - it's considered by many to be the "national drink" of Peru and Chile.
I forget just what grapes are used to make Pisco, and never cared enough to remember the ingredients that go into a Pisco Sour.
I'm not much of a drinker, but when I was in Peru I made it a point to sample a few Pisco Sours. The most enjoyable one was in a the As de Oro restaurant in the little town of ... Pisco, which, in around 1550, was where wine grapes were first planted in the Western hemisphere.
