We are very proud to welcome our dear friends from Bogle Wines where Ronnie Leblanc is the perfect match for Tony Mart Presents. He is a wine executive and a very experienced rock ‘n’ roll guitar player who played with many famous New York gigs, including Paul Schaeffer himself from the David Letterman Show!

We will continue doing more gigs with Bogle on the Boardwalk and many of our other venues. Not only are there excellent Bogle wines like the Old Vine Red Zinfandel available at the Circle for under $10 and perfect for Halloween; but there are the excellent Juggernaut wines, including a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the complex flavorful Phantom Red Blend as well as the Oaky, but balanced Phantom Chardonnay.

In the new hip aluminum thermos bottles, Bogle is now introducing the Elemental Wines which we will talk about this week as well.

The perfect place to have a great casual meal and some truly inspired, culinary creations and comfort food and traditional Jersey favorites is Galloway Casual Dining at 245 W Whitehorse Pike in Galloway.

The brilliant young chef and American Culinary Institute graduate, Niko Karamanis, will be our guest this week to talk about his fabulous favorites like real, made from scratch pot roast and gourmet Mediterranean and Greek dishes along with some of the absolutely best traditional comfort food like turkey and gravy, gourmet sandwiches, salads and side and beautiful, huge desserts. It’s the perfect place to go and enjoy a quick meal and his signature cocktails and we will talk about all of that with the young Chef this week.

The Winemaster at Circle Liquor Store, Chester Malloy, is very humble and congenial in his soft-spoken way; nonetheless, he is becoming a rockstar.

Chet who is truly an informative expert, so helpful at recommending the very finest and most delicious wines and food pairings at varying price ranges.

Next week will have the rockstar himself Chester Malloy, Wine Master at Circle Liquor and focus on so many great wines for the fall and Thanksgiving season as we also look forward to lots of bubbly to celebrate the holidays.

For the first time ever our special guest will be Brian DeWinne from the Claridge Hotel where his beautiful Celebrity Theater is the venue for the hottest Thanksgiving week show happening, the Billy Walton Band’s “Painted Black Friday” tribute to the Rolling Stones.

Rock n’ Roll & Turkey!

Back in the day at Tony Marts, and all over, it was always the tradition to rock n’ roll on the Wednesday night before and the Friday night after everyone gathered for Thanksgiving. At Tony Marts it was one of the biggest “Drink and Drown” Wednesday night parties of the year, and there were always more than 500 people embracing each other and partying on one of the biggest off-season nights at rock n’ roll bars in South Jersey.

Everyone would cut loose and have a great time celebrating the holiday and Homecoming.

Nowadays, a lot of people like to get together and cook the night before and many people still party on that Wednesday night; by the time Friday night rolls around, however, those who want to have a really good time are tired of watching football & eating leftovers and they want the best rock n’ roll party they can find.

This year Tony Mart Presents will bring the Billy Walton Band to the warm and cozy vintage showroom, The Celebrity Theatre, at The Claridge Hotel where it will be a general admission open house party. $20 buys your first drink and two rock n’ roll shows entitled “PAINTED BLACK FRIDAY” as The Billy Walton Band continues their tribute to The Rolling Stones that they have been performing for years as part of “the rock n’ roll on turkey day” weekend tradition.

The doors open at 6pm at The Celebrity Theatre so you can start to mingle and claim your favorite seat or table in the classic showroom before enjoying both of two performances when the Billy Walton Band pays tribute to the greatest classic rock n’ roll band still touring the world, The Rolling Stones.

Billy Walton has always been a huge fan of The Stones and he is ecstatic, really excited to bring us his entire band and Destinee Monroe to this fabulous rock n’ roll show that will feature performances of The Stones earliest major hits, “Satisfaction” & “Jumping Jack Flash”, as well as the haunting rock n’ roll driving dance song after which the show is named, “Painted Black”.

Highlights during the more than two hours of music will include a riveting performance of “Wild Horses” by Destinee Monroe and The Rolling Stones critically acclaimed classic “Let It Bleed”, title track from what many consider to be their greatest album; and “Sympathy For The Devil”, their spellbinding signature song that is one of the most famous subculture anthems of our times.

Everyone who was at The Mart in the early 70’s remembers that you couldn’t go through a night there without hearing “Brown Sugar” at least three times!

It will be really fun and relaxed, entertaining good times with great views and superb acoustics as Tony Mart Presents our own Jersey Shore Rock N ’ Roll Guitar Hero, Billy Walton, in a spectacular first class casino showroom.

In the Tony Mart Jersey Shore rock n’ roll tradition, there is no better way to dance off the turkey!
