Send us Fan MailAward-winning Napa Valley winemaker Ashley Hepworth joins Mic'd and Medicated to talk wine tasting tips, how to order wine at a restaurant, and 23 years working at Joseph Phelps Winery. Ashley — who also happens to be Caroline's sister-in-law — walks us through her path from Charlie Trotter's kitchen in Chicago to launching her own wine labels, A Bloom rosé and AH Wine (Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon). Plus: growing up outdoorsy in Denver, marrying into a Jewish family as a self-described "1% Jewish shiksa," and surviving chaotic in-law family dinners. A conversation about wine, identity, and family — unfiltered, unafraid, unexpert.Ashley's wines: Abloomwine.comAaitchwine.com  We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place.
