They are the Coconut Daiquiri Saketini and the Simple Fairy Tarragon Cocktail.

I’ve also been spending some of my free time visiting local wineries throughout the Willamette Valley, and I’ve compiled some recommendations for Budget-friendly Oregon Pinot Noirs priced at $25 and less.

The first thing I noticed is how many car washes there seem to be  for a small farming community. Then I sampled nine different sakes and almost forgot all about them. Check out my tasting notes, and I will also have some terrific saketini recipes available online soon.
