It is reassuring to know the terrorists were not successful when it comes to destroying an American favorite, the humble martini. On Sept. 11, Martini Madness, a benefit for the Society for Contemporary Craft, was enthusiastically attended. Guests bought hand-crafted martini glasses ranging in price from $38 to $180 and then sampled several varieties of White Diamond Vodka martinis. Munchies were provided to keep the madness to a minimum. Welcoming guests was director Jim Wilkinson with his wife, Suzanne.
