And when you get overloaded on wine, turn it into vinegar.  Pear vinegar
sounds most elegant.  And then there is Perry.

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Kieffer pears for wine?

I've been making wine from Kieffer for 3 or 4 years.  I have one tree  
that consistently produces 8-9 bushel of pears.  As with most wines  
the yeast will make a big difference in the flavor profile.  I highly  
recommend Cote des Blanc & keeping it on the dry side.
