Garden State Winemaking Continues to Grow, as Vintner’s Circle Middletown Announces Its Grand Opening
Personalized winemaking has arrived in Monmouth County, and Vintner’s Circle Middletown is the place to go. The shop provides space for friends and family to gather while making, tasting, and enjoying wine.
MIDDLETOWN, NJ – The location, which celebrated its Ribbon Cutting ceremony last May, announces its Grand Opening event scheduled for Saturday, June 26. Don and Mary Gordon, franchise owners of Vintner’s Circle Middletown on Route 35, are proud to officially open their doors to the community. The Middletown winemaking shop is the first Vintner’s Circle in Monmouth County, and represents the strong, steadily growing interest in New Jersey winemaking.
New Jersey has had a long history of winemaking, as evidenced by its abundance of both wineries and home winemakers. Today, the Garden State is the fifth largest producer of wine in America, and the fifth greatest consumer. These statistics are especially impressive when considering the state ranks as the 47th largest in terms of physical size. New Jersey is home to 24 wineries and more than 50 vineyards. There is a wealth of discoveries in New Jersey for anyone who enjoys wine.

LONG BRANCH, NJ — It’s been called an “urban wasteland.” A “sad, sad place.” A “dump,” and even a “hell hole.” And that was just one paragraph in last week’s TriCity News.
When the artists of Imagine Long Branch look at lower Broadway, however, they see potential. Possibilities. Beauty, even.
At any rate, it’s certainly nothing that a few well-placed daubs of paint couldn’t fix. That’s why a group of dynamic, creative neighbors has been working closely with the City of Long Branch to transform the block between Second Avenue and Liberty Street into a destination attraction unlike anything ever seen on the Jersey Shore.
It won’t happen overnight. But, for one day, some of the area’s most dynamic and dedicated artists and musicians will sound the keynote — and wield the first ceremonial brushstrokes — when Arts Hits the Streets.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS – More than five dozen fifth graders from two Atlantic Highlands schools graduated last week from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program run by the Atlantic Highlands Police Department.
“Part of this is getting the kids to know police officers and to know that cops are people too,” said AHPD Patrolman Stephen Doherty, who heads up the local D.A.R.E. program with Patrolman Stephen Vogt.
Doherty, known to local kids as “Officer Steve,” along with Vogt conducted the program during the recent school year. The two officers visited regularly with 5th graders from the Atlantic Highlands Elementary School and Mother Teresa Regional School to talk about drugs, alcohol abuse, computers and bullying.

Middletown, NJ — Every little bit helps, especially in all-volunteer organizations. The Middletown Township Office of Emergency Management recently accepted a 1997 E450 Ambulance donated by the Port Monmouth First Aid Squad. The ambulance was still used as a primary response vehicle, until April when in an effort to maintain costs, a new home was sought for the apparatus.
