Serving

2 cups water
1 (750-ml) bottle riesling or other slightly sweet white wine
1 (2-inch) piece vanilla bean , split lengthwise
3 peeled cored firm bartlett pears (about 1 lb)
2 (2-inch) lemon rind strips
2 (2-inch) orange rind strips
8 cups mixed salad greens
8 (1/8-inch- thick) slices red onion, separated into rings
1/2 cup golden california raisins
1/2 cup (2 oz) crumbled goat cheese
2 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
