AMBER MINHA
Originally from Wisconsin, Amber started her career in the restaurant business at a young age of 6, washing dishes at her best friend's parent supper club. She got paid in French fries back then. She then starting working at a private country club in her late teens and that is how she learned about hospitality, fine dining, first class service and wine. She went from hospitality to sales (and studied and completed her Certified Sommelier) and after 13 years working for a distributor of fine wine, she had the call from the Napa Valley Vintners to move to her dream spot, Napa Valley, where she was the Domestic Marketing Manager for all of the wineries and the Napa Valley American Viticulture Area, AVA. She helped with the International Marketing while also educating trade, consumers and thousands of people over the years on not only Napa Valley, but the ever-changing wine world.
After a few years, she made the transition to Staglin Family Vineyard, one of the world’s greatest wines in Rutherford, Napa Valley, and runs all sales globally. She travels the world and seeks out the best restaurants, resorts, private clubs and wine shops and hosts wine events nightly, talking about organic farming, running a women owned and operated winery, the ageability of Staglin Family Vineyard wines and all that encompasses the Napa Valley. She is a Global Sales Director and Ambassador for Staglin Family Vineyard.
Amber is vibrant, full of energy and has a way of explaining wine in an “easy to understand” way. She loves National Parks (and has been to all in the US but one) and now lives in two of the world’s best places: Napa Valley and the Cotswolds in England, with her partner, Phil, and their Rhodesian Ridgeback, Midas. She also has planted a small vineyard in the UK and hopes to one day produce the world’s best English Sparkling, or at least a drinkable one.
Fearrington looks forward to welcoming Katy Kidd & Matheson Worrell, the owner winemakers of Dynamis Estate, from Swan Creek, North Carolina. Their work represents a new chapter for Southern wine - one that challenges outdated perceptions and places North Carolina firmly in the conversation alongside America’s most exciting emerging wine estates. Chef Paul Gagne and Wine Director Troy Revell will be creating a custom five-course meal to pair with five estate wines, presented to you by the winemakers themselves! We hope you can join us.

Dynamis Estate is helping rewrite the narrative around North Carolina wine. For years, the state carried a reputation for pleasant but forgettable bottles—more curiosity than serious contender. Dynamis is challenging that assumption head-on. Perched at 1,640 feet in the Swan Creek AVA, the estate combines rocky mountain soils, dramatic day-to-night temperature swings, and meticulous vineyard work to produce Bordeaux-inspired wines with real structure, depth, and age-worthiness. Every wine is estate-grown, hand-harvested, and crafted with an uncompromising focus on quality, from new French oak aging programs to low-intervention cellar practices. Rather than chasing novelty, Dynamis aims for world-class precision and elegance, proving that North Carolina can produce wines worthy of the same conversation as far more established American regions. The winery’s recent national recognition—including a nomination for Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year and multiple 95-point scores—signals that the rest of the wine world is beginning to notice as well.

-
Winemakers Katy Kidd and Matheson Worrell are at the center of North Carolina's transformation. Both trained through North Carolina’s Shelton-Badgett viticulture and enology program, but their ambitions have always extended beyond making “good for North Carolina” wine. Kidd brings a background in fine dining and a sharp sensory approach shaped by sparkling wine production and Appassimento techniques, while Worrell refined his craft through work in Burgundy and wineries across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Together, they approach the mountain vineyard with the mindset of serious European estates: site first, precision everywhere, compromise nowhere. Their wines are restrained rather than overworked, allowing the elevation, rocky soils, and long growing season to define the final expression in the glass. More importantly, they represent a new generation of North Carolina winemakers unwilling to accept mediocrity or regional stereotypes. Through Dynamis, Kidd and Worrell are proving that exceptional terroir exists in the Appalachian foothills—and that, in the right hands, North Carolina can produce wines with both authenticity and international-level pedigree.
