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.
