Pears are very difficult to grow in North Dakota. It seems they blossom early so either a late frost prevents them from producing, or the more realistic explanation is that there is no pollination mechanism at that time of the year in North Dakota. Without pollination, no fruit. About the 3/4 the size of store bought pears, with a beautiful reddish tint to the skin. We fermented the pears on the skins to hold that color. WOW! A very romantic wine. A little hint of citrus but very mellow. Enjoy this wine chilled again and again.
