MICHAEL & OZ NICHOLS are pillars of the Triangle Wine & Food Experience and steadfast supporters of Frankie Lemmon. Both have made a remarkable impact since joining the cause a decade ago. Their unwavering generosity--especially their willingness to open their stunning home--has been truly inspiring in raising funds for the children and families of Frankie Lemmon.
Now, they invite you to an extraordinary evening on MAY 3RD, 2025 in Wrightsville Beach, featuring an unforgettable collaboration between Wilmington’s James Beard-nominated chef DEAN NEFF and the celebrated winemaking duo HELEN KEPLINGER & DJ WARNER of KEPLINGER WINES.
HELEN KEPLINGER was recently named the 2023 Vinous Winemaker of the Year. She has been crafting exceptional wines for over twenty years. Inspired by her father’s wine collection, her journey began with the Graduate Program at UC Davis and an early role assisting legendary winemaker Heidi Barrett. After honing her skills in Spain working with Grenache, Helen returned to Napa Valley to co-launch Kenzo Estate alongside Barrett and David Abreu and establish her own winery, Keplinger Wines, with her husband DJ Warner. Helen’s wines have earned her accolades such as the 2012 Food & Wine Magazine’s Winemaker of the Year and a feature on the cover of Wine Spectator.
Based in Wilmington, DEAN NEFF is the creative force behind SEABIRD, where his innovative yet approachable take on coastal cuisine highlights the region’s seasonality and rich seafood traditions. A leader in the Wilmington culinary community, Dean has earned national acclaim for his talent and dedication to celebrating local ingredients.
Join Mike & Oz at their gorgeous intercoastal waterway home as Dean Neff prepares a stunning multicourse dinner, showcasing Wilmington’s seasonal seafood and the vibrant flavors of coastal Carolina. The meal will be perfectly paired with selections from Helen Keplinger's South of France and Southern Rhone inspired wines, making for an evening of culinary and oenological excellence.
