What's "black-tie circuit"?
Dimon shuns the black-tie circuit and never sets foot on a golf course. He yanked Bank One's sponsorship of the Masters golf tournament because the country club hosting the event doesn't accept women members. His taste in food is basic; his favorite dish is a cheeseburger with fries.

I'm not part of the black-tie circuit scene. But I think it means all those social activities that the upper-class, well-to-do attend. "Circuit" suggests a series of events, some of which may be repeated annually.
