David Andrews, DipWSET

David brings great enthusiasm to the wine industry, having left St Andrews university in 2019 and unsure quite where the job market would lead him, he began part time work in a small independent brewery, aptly named Titsey, where it was just him and the owner brewing small batch beer. David then joined Majestic Wine as a trainee manager in Shepherds Bush, moving through the store ranks to head office and now joining us at Winesdirect in 2023. He has completed his WSET Diploma qualification and looking forward to share his expert knowledge and tidbits of the wine world.

As well as being highly knowledgeable on the wine industry, David also loves to deconstruct a wine’s profile and create in depth tasting notes. You’ll find a few breakdowns on our website as well as on his Instagram: @oinosattheoikos

David is a big advocate of adventurous wines and exploring all there is to offer. He rarely buys the same wine twice and is often attracted to obscure grapes from lesser-known regions.

The Mount Gay Distillery Tour!
In 2022, my Covid lifted restrictions holiday was to Barbados where I wrote on here about my distillery tour of St Nicholas Abbey. This is the more boutique distillery of the island, alongside Foursquare who also make small batch premium rums. Perhaps I’ll have to get there next time. So, if you find yourself heading to Barbados any time soon, I’d certainly recommend having a read of my St Nicholas Abbey tour, and this Mount Gay one of course. There’s nothing to stop you from going to both –…

Whisky52 Review: Glenmorangie
Whisky52 has been an excellent addition to the Wine52 and Beer52 family, uncovering new whisky regions and distilleries each month, from some big names. Often with whisky clubs, you’ll end up receiving a few months’ worth of full-sized bottles and become overloaded with whisky you don’t have the time to drink before the next bottle arrives. That’s when you feel you have to cancel. But, with Whisky52, they keep costs and consumption down by sending 35cl bottles each month. This means you have…

Wine52 Case Review: Armenia
Keeping up the spirit of exploration, the latest Wine52 case goes to the very origins of wine production in Armenia. Armenia is the home of the oldest known dedicated winery in the world, dating back to 4100 BC! Between 2007-2010, excavations uncovered wine jars, grape presses and grape seeds in a cave complex indicating quite how sophisticated production was even back then. Some of the seeds found were the exact same species as one of the grapes you’ll try in this case – Areni Noir. Despite…
