Halcyon Hosts Kunde Wine Dinner

by Melody Kettle in , , ,


Last night many of Montclair’s true blues, (or authentic locals) attended the Kunde Family Estate Wine Dinner at Halcyon Seafood Brasserie, located at 112 Walnut Street., Montclair. 

This was a very special event that also brought together two Montclair families with long histories as local business owners.  For this event, Sharon Walsh Egan, host and co-owner of Halcyon, as well as Egan & Sons in Montclair and West Orange, collaborated with fellow Montclair family, the Powers, specifically, the Egans’ butcher, Martin Powers and his sister, Jacki Powers. 

Before Halcyon Seafood Brasserie occupied the space at 112 Walnut Street, it was Oppenheimer’s Wholesale Meat Distribution Company, which was owned by Jerry Kroll.  It was also the former site of Wayne Meat Corporation, which Martin Powers operates today.

Watch the video for more with Sharon Egan, Jeff Kunde, and Jacki Martin.
