Strain and bring to boil again. Peel pears leaving 1-inch of the stems. Cut off a slice in the bottom so pears can stand upright. Place pears in the boiling liquid and cook 30 minutes until tender. Add 5 tbsp. wine and cook another 10 minutes. Tranfer pears to a serving dish or individual dishes. Let liquid in pan reduce to 2 cups. Add 1 more tbsp. wine. Pour sauce over pears.
