Ashley Sherman
Ashley fell in love with wine at an early age while working in hospitality in high school. This journey led her to university summers backpacking around France, pruning Semillon vineyards in Australia, and pouring samples in tiny cups to shoppers at liquor stores across New York. Post-college, she moved into the strategy side of the alcohol business, ultimately leading her to her current role in sales execution at Breakthru Beverage Group. Over the past decade, she continued to study wine through the WSET program and was one of the youngest Americans to receive her WSET Diploma in Wine. Today, you'll find her trying out wine bars across New York and planning her next trip (all of which must include a pilgrimage to a nearby vineyard).
