Default Shiraz - Wine Rookie Question

I have been into knowing more about wine for over a year. I find the more I
try to discover, the more confusing it seems to be.

Simple question. How exactly does one pronounce (in the USA) "Shiraz?"

Somewhere along the line in the last year, I thought it was sher AS.
Waiters and waitresses seem to emphasize
Sher AHS. (I'm not even going to get into those who told me it was sher
AH...... which I've figured out was the confusion with Syrah......

Your assistance would be appreciated. I love the wine learning curve,
though I am not sure how to get to be more on "wise" wine side.
