Celebrate Peru's Independence Day 2010 With Pisco!

via 1.bp.blogspot.com

Next week is Peru's Independence Day on Wednesday, July 28, 2010.  And the best way to celebrate Peru's birthday is with a bottle of Pisco.  Pisco is a term from the main native language of Peru Quechua: pisqu, which means little bird. 

Developed by Spanish settlers in the sixteenth century, as a cheaper alternative to imported Orujo from Spain, it takes its name from the conical pottery in which it was originally aged, which was also the name of one of the sites where it was produced:  Pisco, in the Viceroyalty of Peru.  The first vineyards were planted in the coastal valleys in the Viceroyalty.  Even though Spain imposed many restrictions on wine production and commerce, the wine-making industry developed rapidly, such as in the Corregimiento of Ica. 

Pisco is 100% Peruvian!

Jon Bonne of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote - Humble pisco may find spot on top shelf. 

Here are a few of the top places to drink Pisco in San Francisco and celebrate Peru's Independence Day on Wednesday, July 28, 2010:

- La Mar Cebicheria Peruana
