Sake and Song

Summer passes far too quickly, especially here in Washington
County where there’s so much to do when the skies are blue and the sun is
shining. That’s why my Saturday evening was a touch bittersweet -
it was SakeOne’s last summer concert for 2008.
This was my third concert at the sakery this summer, and my
friends and I were not disappointed. The lovely and soulful Stephanie
Schneiderman of Dirty Martini and the multi-talented didgeridoo-playing Keith Schreiner
of Dahlia were the perfect complement to the balmy evening. We finally came
prepared this time with a full picnic spread. The special drink was a Blueberry
Lemonade Saketini which was a smashing success judging by the number of recipe
cards disappearing and bottles of Diamond sake and Monin Blueberry syrup flying
off the shelves. In case you’re up for a bit of libation experimentation,
SakeOne often lists new drink recipes on their website and in their e-newsletter.
As another beautiful summer evening in Forest Grove
came to a close, I consoled myself with one thought: At least they have Saketini
Saturdays the third weekend of every month!
