Welcome to Drinking the World; my thoughts on fine libations, special spirits, and fabulous cocktails. My name is Jonathan M. Forester and I'm a food & beverage writer / consultant, and formerly partner in a winery and brewery in Maine. Now, my new partner and I are currently in the process of starting an artisanal, farm distillery located on 370 acres in New York State called Dutch's Spirits. We will be specializing in premium, hand-made spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and malt whiskey, peach and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, gin, liqueurs, and cocktail bitters.

XML FeedsA World of Pear
By Jonathan M. Forester on Jul 1, 2009 | In Wine, Winterport Winery
Not too long ago at Winterport Winery we were starting off a batch of pear wine. We use large, 500 gallon tanks for the initial fermentation and the juice gets pumped in from the bottom and slowly fills up the tank. As the tank filled with the juice air bubbles formed, and I started to see what looked like a strange world developing before my eyes. Continents, storms and clouds, constantly changing as I watched. I grabbed my camera from my office upstairs in the brewery/distillery and came back down to the winery and started snapping shots every few minutes. Click to see more of a world of pear.
