Crossing Vineyards in Washington Crossing, PA has a fun event coming up if you’re interested in locally-made wines.  Head out to Bucks County on November 10 and 11 for their Nouveau Festival, which celebrates this season’s wine harvest and the release of Crossing Vineyards’ 2007 “Le Nouveau”.  The festival is from noon to six.

If you’ll be in the York, Pennsylvania area on November 17 and 18, consider hitting the York Expo Center’s Toyota Arena for the Pennsylvania Food and Beverage Show.  A few PA wineries will be showcased.  Admission starts at $11.

Hurry up if you’re interested in the White Dog Cafe American Artisan Cheese Dinner - it’s Monday, October 29 at 6pm.  Executive Chef Andy Brown will prepare a four course dinner revolving around local cheeses and some other local foods, while Jeffrey Roberts, author of Atlas of American Artisan Cheese, leads a discussion.  The cost is $45 plus tax & gratuity.  Reservation are required. Please call 215-386-9224.

If free is more your style, mosey over to the United Tabernacle Church at 3700 Chestnut St. in Philly on October 30 for the “Faces of Fair Trade” Farmers Tour.  There will be a food tasting and discussion led by Ann Karlen, founding director of the Fair Food Project.

And here’s something for you to consider for next year: The Brewer’s Plate.  The fundraiser for the Fair Food Project will be held on March 9, 2008 at the Independence Visitor’s Center.  As part of Philly Beer Week 2008, chefs from Philly’s top restaurants will put together food and wine pairings.  It promises to be a good time for a good cause!
