Séguret, who's also judging in the Chef's Challenge finale on Aug. 23 (and has participated in the AWFF since the beginning), says she’s excited to witness the growth of the festival year after year. "It's getting bigger,” she says. “And the word is getting out farther and farther about North Carolina wines," she says. "I think that's incredible, North Carolina having been, for so long, a tobacco-growing [part of the] country that's associated with Deliverance, kind of,” she laughs. Séguret hastens to add that she loves the “real” North Carolina — it’s where she grew up. “But since my passion is wine and food too, and North Carolina can now be associated with wines that are coming into their own, and truffles, too, it's fantastic. It all goes together in a package with the great farmers markets, all the restaurants that we have ... it fits that package of the appreciation of the finer things in life.”
