Bucks County Wine Trail Nouveau Weekend; no admission, wineries may charge tasting fees. First of all, this is not Beaujolais Nouveau. It is whatever the wineries have just harvested and bottled, nouveau. The wineries are Buckingham Valley, Crossing Vineyards (Washington Crossing), Rushland (Jamison), and Sand Castle (Erwinna). The Bishop Estate Vineyard (Hilltown, Pa.) will be selling its Maple Marquette, a burgundy aged in maple whiskey barrels, yum. The Bishop Estate, which sounds like fun, will have live music on Sunday and food trucks. They are not promising, but in the past they have had Taco Town, Oink Food Joint, Uncle Bob’s Desserts, and Cousins Maine Lobster.

Paula Poundstone performs at the Sellersville Theater on Temple Avenue. It has only 325 seats, and there are more than that many people in Bucks County who listen to “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.” You know what that means. Buy your ticket in advance.
