Sand Castle blasts out some news

Couple of e-notes from Sand Castle Winery in Erwinna, Pa., a member of the Bucks County Wine Trail.

* It was selected by NBC in New York to represent Bucks County and Pennsylvania "as a producer of the fine wines and entertainment" for a show that aired April 11 in the Philly area and will air elsewhere across the country in the weeks to come.

* Its schedule includes appearances at a women's show in Harrisburg on May 1-3. See if I can't get more on that before the date. That schedule also includes pouring at the Longwood Gardens Wine and Jazz Fest on Saturday, May 2. The winery is asking for reservations by May 4 for its Mother's Day brunch at the winery on May 10, including an omelette station, home fries, orange juice, pastries and a glass of wine. Finally, it is planning to conduct a lecture on the principles of food and wine, along with a tasting, on Wednesday, May 13. The cost is $35/person and will run from 6 to 8 p.m. Anyone interested should make a reservation with Sheri Simond via email at Philadelphia@eurocircle.com.
