ROCHESTER, Mich., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Be sure to mark your calendar! The 2004 holiday season officially begins November 7, when Crittenton Hospital Medical Center's Gourmet Gala Benefit brings glamour, delicious food and wine tasting to the lovely Troy Marriott Hotel.
The Gourmet Gala, now in its 28th year, has long been regarded as a premier event in food and wine tasting in the Detroit Metropolitan area. This year's Gala promises luxurious ambiance and a variety of signature dishes from the area's finest restaurants. The Gala Cafe, which features an array of desserts, cordials and specialty coffees, will be returning also.
