Black Star Farms' Pear Wine

Bottoms Up

This wine wasn’t grown on the vine, but in the tree! Over Memorial Day weekend, Black Star Farms debuted its limited release Pear Wine ($18), which is exclusively available at the winery’s tasting rooms in Suttons Bay and on Old Mission Peninsula. The wine is made of 100 percent local pears that are gently fermented to create a delicate, pear-forward flavor. It’s semi-sweet, but remains delicate and balanced with 3.5 percent residual sugar. Lee Lutes, Head Winemaker at Black Star Farms says the wine is “incredibly expressive,” and the Black Star Team recommends pairing with mild cheeses, savory salads, and fruit-based desserts. This is a limited production run, so hop over to one of the tasting rooms for a sip or a bottle before its gone! Learn more at blackstarfarms.com.
