CHEERS!
Triangle Wine Experience celebrates 25th year helping children Chef Ashley Christensen
Laure Levesque, owner of Queen of Wines Speed Rodriguez, Frankie Lemmon School and Development Center
What started as a wine and cheese party 25 years ago to raise funds for The Frankie Lemmon School and Developmental Center is now one of the largest wine events on the east coast. This year Triangle Wine Experience expanded its festivities from three days to four with participation by 40 of the Triangle’s premier restaurants, 18 award-winning chefs at its gala and more than 70 wineries from all over the world including some of the most prestigious in the industry. This year the festivities included a bonus tasting event of eight of the most sought-after chateaus from the Bordeaux region of France. All of this thanks to Durham’s Queen of Wines, one of the few female owned wine distributors in the world. The chilly air of late January didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of Triangle Wine Experience patrons
at the Carolina Country Club in Raleigh enjoying Grand cru classé — a title bestowed upon only 61 wineries in the world in 1855. This classification of excellence remains today. “We are thrilled to host these prestigious wineries,” said Laure Levesque, owner of Queen of Wines, “and to partner for such an important cause as the Frankie Lemmon School. Triangle Wine Experience is the highlight of any food and wine lovers year.” The week before the bonus tasting, Triangle Wine Experience founder, Eliza Kraft Olander, was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine for exemplary service to the state of North Carolina and her community above and beyond the call of duty by Governor Roy Cooper at a reception honoring her and a dedicated group of Triangle Wine Experience volunteers in late January.
FEBRUARY IS TRIANGLE TODAY’S
Sally Keeney for Triangle Today // Photos by Kate Pope and submitted Nothing symbolizes the growth of the Triangle like the Triangle Wine Experience,” says Mary Carey, director of marketing and communication for the Frankie Lemmon Foundation. “Twenty five years ago, a small group of individuals partnered with their friends in the wine industry to create an event to support the children of the Frankie Lemmon School. Now we have four days of events with prestigious wineries from all over the world and amazing chefs. We wouldn’t be able to do that if we were the same Triangle we were 25 years ago.” Carey is impressed that a core group of a dozen or so volunteers have been with the organization for 25 years, including Olander and Lenora Evans, chief friendship officer of Frankie Lemmon Foundation and 25 year veteran of Triangle Wine Experience.
“In a day when so many people move and leave, we have people who have been involved for 25 years,” Carey said. “It’s the love of the kids and seeing how they grow and blossom at Frankie Lemmon. My child came in on a wheelchair and walked out. Miracles happen every day at Frankie Lemmon.” “There aren’t many people who you can say have changed the lives of thousands of children” said Evans, “but Eliza has. Her efforts have given countless children the gift of being able to walk and communicate with their families. It has been a humbling experience to work with someone with such a big heart. We are all indebted to her tremendous generosity of spirit.”

Here’s where you can see 2018 Grammy winners in the Triangle
Chris Stapleton. Photo by Scott Sharpe. Chris Stapleton, fresh off sweeping the Grammy Awards’ country categories, is coming to the Triangle. Stapleton will bring his All-American Road Show to Raleigh’s Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek Oct. 12, with Marty Stuart and Brent Cobb. Fan club pre-sales begin Feb. 6, with Feb. 9 as the public on-sale date. At Sunday’s Grammy ceremonies in New York, Stapleton’s 2017 album “From a Room: Volume 1” won all three awards he was nominated for — best country album, song and solo performance. The last time Stapleton played in Raleigh was in May 2017, the same week that “From a Room” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s country chart. Stapleton is one of a number of Grammy winners with Triangle shows coming up. The list includes: Jason Isbell, who won his first two Grammys for Americana album and American roots song off “The Nashville Sound,” is at the Durham Performing Arts Center Feb. 10-11. The National also snagged its first Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album for “Sleep Well Beast.” They play Red Hat Amphitheater May 1. Mastodon, winner for best metal performance with “Sultan’s Curse,” was just announced for May 19 at Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater. Kendrick Lamar, who came up short for album of the year but still won five Grammys — rap album, song, performance, video and rap/sung performance, all from his album “DAMN” — plays Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek May 26.
