SALENTEIN, HEART AND SOUL OF THE UCO VALLEY

Bodegas Salentein is the heart and soul of the Uco Valley—a magnificent project that has captured the imagination of the Argentine people and wine lovers from around the world. Home to Portillo, Killka, and Salentein wines, Bodegas Salentein has created a new vision of quality and character for this remarkable region. The company honors and promotes the culture and people of the Uco Valley while making wines that find success throughout the world.

In the Uco Valley Salentein farms more than 800 hectares of premium vineyards on an undulating estate of nearly 2,000 hectares in total, and turns those grapes into great wine with Argentina’s leading winemaker, the legendary Jose Galante.

The Uco Valley is clearly the future for Argentine wine. Its high elevation and stony alluvial soils create the perfect conditions for world-class wines. For twenty years Salentein has led the way in the Uco Valley, with a unique combination of estates that range over twenty-two miles and five different micro climates. Here Salentein is making a lasting commitment to the people, environment, and future of Argentina and the Uco Valley, creating great wines while generating hope and opportunities for the people who live here.

TWFE is always one of the highlights of the year for us. We love the whole weekend. On Thursday we love that we are able to fill a room with all our friends and celebrate with incredible wines! The gala was amazing and so fun and special. We love the addition of celebrity chefs!

I think the food is definitely as important as the wine. The opportunity to pair great food and great wine together creates a heightened culinary experience for attendees, and the involvement of our local chefs anchors this event as something special and unique to the Triangle.

There is no drink more synonymous with the word “celebration” and “toast” than champagne. TWFE is about raising our champagne glasses high to celebrate the children and families of Frankie Lemmon and the friendships we’ve made through this event.

For me, it’s a rare and incredibly inspiring experience to be in the same room with so much talent—there are very few local events that can illustrate the power of our food community to come together and make a huge impact

Triangle Wine & Food Experience would not occur without the amazing winemakers, chefs, supporters and volunteers, and more importantly, the Frankie Lemmon School would not exist without them. Everyone who participates with TWFE impacts a child’s life for the better.

Working with Frankie Lemmon for the past 20 years has helped me understand what a gift it is to give back and what a responsibility we have as chefs, Food is a tie that binds, and the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life is one of the best and most rewarding aspects of this work.

Triangle Wine & Food Experience

Triangle Wine & Food Experience is North Carolina’s premiere wine and food event. Held annually on the first weekend in February, chefs, restaurants, wineries, and spirit brands from all over the world participate in an unmissable three-day affair that includes lavish dinners and curated tastings that culminates in a grand auction.
