But on Friday, October 8, 2010, Food andWine will literally flow at its annual benefit dinner. Only once a year does Martha’s Kitchen charge for its meals and it’s only to raise funds to continue feeding the hungry at no cost to them. Martha’s Kitchen started a Benefit Dinner in celebration of its 25th Anniversary in 2006. Now, it has become its biggest fundraiser. Guglielmo Winery will provide wine for the wine tasting.
