In the August issue of Down East read about these tasty places:
 
Blue Sky— a review of the Lydia Shire restaurant in York Beach.
 
Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Distillery — this Union operation makes Maine’s only gin. Lucky for us it’s fabulous.
 
And don’t miss the write-up on DennyMike’s barbecue sauce, also in York, and Windjammer Cooking, a cookbook from Maine’s fleet of windjammers. (At the bottom of the page.)
 
Also on DownEast.com:
 
Kathy Gunst takes us to the movies with a review of Julie and Julia, the culinary blockbuster of the summer.
