Dawn they were probably common pears or also known as a European Pear, they are tasty as when i was a youngster growing up our nabor had several large tree's growing next door and we'd always wait for them to fall from the tree's and enjoy them, they did seem a bit grittish but never the less we liked them....

wow thats a bit of time to go without electric..like a long long camping trip

Well you got to have water thats for sure.. of course having the well you don't have to pay a monthly or so bills for its usage, but to drill a well cost a bit at the time of putting it in, certainly nice if you want to do some irrigating of your plants and or gardens, or filling a pool..

The cabin sounds way way cool...

you can always go to a local farmers market and ask for there bit over ripened fruits they make excellent candidates for wine making, sometimes you can get a good discount on the over ripened fruits to boot

Do you guys stick to a specific time frame/schedule for racking/bottling your wine?

We have given a few bottles away as well. We always throw the pulp away as well.

We just finished a 5 gallon bucket of blueberry wine this week and it was

. I guess what made it taste so good was because the blueberries were from the front yard.

This week we racked our elderberry, plum and pumpkin spice wines. It is soon bottling time! Who has made teaberry wine?

I need to 2nd rack my strawberry rhubarb soon. I plan to start a blueberry and a rhubarb. I have a lot of parsley growing and might make a small batch of wine our of that. Depending how the peaches are I might brew up some peach or make elderberry peach. The possiblities are endless right now. I love summer!

How is parsley wine? A co-worker tried it and he likes it.

I have thought about making wine, but, here in the Finger Lakes, I have over 70 wineries within an hour drive, so it is hard to justify it.
