Our Story So Far
The Northern Wine Guy (formerly The Devon Wine Guy) is a multi-award-winning business, created by Andrew Lofthouse, in an attempt to demystify the wine industry and ensure that we all enjoy having a good glass of wine or two after a hard day's work!
Andrew had previously spent close to 20 years in the investment banking industry and throughout this time has had an ever increasing enthusiasm for the wine industry. Interlinked with this have been his two loves after his family - Wine and Cheese!! Andrew set up and subsequently sold his successful Wine and Cheese business in Devon to return North.
Having been fortunate enough to travel to various parts of the globe to further his depth of knowledge and understanding, whilst never straying far from the good part....the tasting and sampling of wines (and cheeses), he decided upon setting up a wine tasting and wine educational resource for all. By doing so, helping simplify the world of wine.
Extensive global travel and research (mostly drinking!) throughout the world, has led him to be able to utilise this hands on experience to work towards higher qualifications within the wine industry. Andrew holds globally recognised and respected leading qualifications via the Wine and Spirits Education Trust and holds a Guild of Fine Foods Cheese Diploma.
Andrew has extensive contracts across the UK with corporate clients, both in London and outside. With wine tasting group events showcasing his knowledge of wines, alongside wine cellar builds for HNW individuals and personal sommelier services. Andrew has had hands on experience of working for a Head Winemaker at one of the largest wine estates in Devon, where he added first hand vineyard management and winery knowledge to his background.
Andrew is also the creator and co-host of the sponsored podcasts "The Andy and Olly Show" and "The Northern Wine Guy Podcast Show" which are available on all the usual apps (Amazon, Apple, Spotify) and via this website.
In South Yorkshire he setup and runs The Wine and Cheese Network monthly in Sheffield, as well as offering TNWG Wine Explorer Wine Cases, he has access to over 200,000 wines for sale from his extensive supplier lists.
