Bills Poached Pears----Southern Style

"I have always liked pears and my favorite is poached pears. I think you will like this version Its another way to cook with wine and thats always exciting. I like to use a fruity red or a slightly sweet German red wine. Don't use cooking wine .Use a good inexpensive wine that you will enjoy drinking what is left. Use Bosc pears if possible. I have found this good with my Bills Hambergers or Grilled fish. Serve cold."
