[email protected] Ashley Lehr Southeast Region Sales Manager Ashley’s passion for fine wine began in Naples, Florida, where she got her start in the industry as a wine buyer for a local restaurant. Originally from Connecticut, she moved to Florida at the age of 14 and quickly found herself drawn to the complexity, elegance, and stories behind fine wines. That early interest soon blossomed into a full-time career, and for the past 11 years, Ashley has been dedicated to connecting people with exceptional wines from around the world. As Whitehall Lane’s Southeast Sales Representative, Ashley brings deep knowledge and a love for wine education. She believes that wine should be approachable and enjoys making the world of fine wine accessible and exciting for everyone she meets. When she’s not traveling or hosting sales meetings, Ashley can be found spending time with her beloved Dalmatian, Winston. She’s also an avid Formula 1 fan, enjoys driving on the track, and finds time for golfing and horseback riding whenever she can. [email protected]
