This weekend, Grownup Food Nerds may want to take advantage of something the wineries are calling Wine Trail Weekend, which is probably just a promotion of their wine tasting and tours, but is also a good excuse to support local businesses and farms and, well, try lots and lots of wine. Visit Old York Cellars, Terhune Orchards and Winery, Hopewell Valley Vineyards andUnionville Vineyards. It's a like a pub crawl, only classier, and you have to drive. Check out their websites or Facebook page for more info.
Book Nerds and Music Nerds, take your last chances to celebrate both at The Raconteur before it closes its doors at the end of this month. The last few planned events are no less fascinating for being the last few.
The historic Loews Jersey City returns with a classic lineup this weekend, including The Purple Rose of Cairo and Cinema Paradiso (Director's Cut). It's also cheaper and less soulless here than at your local multiplex. In other Jersey movie nerds, the NJ International Film Fest returns for the Winter season.
Finally, if you have been abducted by aliens and the experience is interfering with your ability to function, this meeting is for you.
