Triangle Wine Experience kicks off Thursday

The Triangle Wine Experience kicks off Thursday and continues through Saturday. This annual event is a fundraiser for the Frankie Lemmon School, which serves children with disabilities.

Tickets are still available for some of the wine dinners happening Thursday night. The meals are $150 a ticket, but it is all about the food and the wine pairing experience. Check out the Triangle Wine Experience website for a full rundown of what's still open and a list of local merchants participating in Friday afternoon's free Sip, Shop and Sign event

Everything leads up to the Grand Gala and Auction starting at 5 p.m. Saturday at 2020 Progress Court in Raleigh. Tickets are $200 and still available.
