way cool
and oh, I'm one American that appreciates salty, sour, and bone-dry. Of course though sweet isn't bad either!

Yummy! Nice vid, thank you so much, cookingupastory!
I was lucky that while in France, the private reserve of the artisanal "poireux" was shared with me by the proud makers. They are limited by law to the amount that each can make, and those over-limit unmarked bottles were absolutely fabulous.
The taste & pleasure still linger in my memory.
This vid got my tastebuds drooling... sure, send me a case!

Gee, MsBetty, I said the same thing (sorta!), because I filmed this on a Friday! Similar to a winery, they have a tasting room. It was a popular spot that day =)

Thanks for highlighting that statement. It is a very important one for many people to consider, as you noted, Octahoney. Like any business or way to earn an income, if a living wage doesn't exist, you have to move on.

Glad I watched this on a Friday... I need to try this :)

WOW. That is an interesting thought.

"Ultimately you cannot expect the farm family to make no money from their land." So very true. Supporting your local farms is a valuable thing.

I think that Mr. McCarthy is a very interesting person. (in a very good way.)

Chances are good the recipe and the still stayed in the family. They had a tendency to keep everything of any value, way back. I hope that tendency was inherited. The homestead is currently occupied by the fourth generation.

28 lbs of pears concentrated into one little bottle is a lot. I found it very interesting. It made me think about a lot of things and I like that. One -- it reminded me of why our forefather turn all their extra grains and fruits into liquor -- easy to transport and safe to store. In 1799 George Washington produced 11,000 gallons of whiskey, he was using grain, but just think about how many pears it would take to make 11,000 gallons.
