OUR PEOPLE


Mark Wrigglesworth – Director & Owner

My life in the wine trade started when I bought The Good Wine Shop in St Margarets in 2004. Before that wine was a passion and a hobby rather than my living. I had stints with start up businesses before that, in property group specialising in the mobile telecoms sector, as well as establishing and running an American Healthcare company’s UK offices. Having cut my teeth helping set up other people’s businesses I now wanted to venture out on my own and in an area I had a passion for. It was a steep learning curve in the early days but I guess nearly 15 years on we must be getting something right and hopefully we will continue to thrive and grow. I am curious about wine in all its colours, grapes and styles but never like drinking the same thing again and again. Pinot Noir is a passion but so is white burgundy and Riesling too.



Ben Craighead – Operations Manager

With over a decade of experience working in hospitality in the UK and Canada, before I came to The Good Wine Shop I worked for an award winning, boutique hotel chain. I’m passionate about wine and spirits. As a trained sommelier I also love suggesting great food & wine combinations! I recently completed my WSET Diploma and was honoured to receive the Liberty Wines Award for outstanding results in the Global Business module. I’m particularly fond of wines from Oregon, Northern Italy and Jerez. Most often though you’ll find me with a great single malt whisky!



Bastian Fischer – Commercial & Business Development Manager

My interest in wine started during a summer season in Trentino Alto Adige where I worked closely with the hotel Sommelier and got to taste some of the most exceptional wines of the region. He was a great advocate for Italian wines but especially the wines of Trentino and really got my curiosity started. Before I knew it I was spending my day off and time between shifts visiting growers in the local area. After my time in Italy I moved to the UK where I got to work with some of the most talented Sommeliers and Hospitality professionals in the world who ultimately turned the initial interest of wine into a real passion.

I am a wine maverick and love to try new things. I don't have a favourite wine per se but I love Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Syrah and Pinot so the wines of Germany, Austria, as well as the Loire and Rhone Valley tend to be the ones taking up most space in my own cellar. Apart from wine i am somewhat of a part-time cigar aficionado, avid reader and love to catch the odd basketball game, go Mavs. When not drinking wine my beverage of choice is a great cup of coffee, you just can't beat a good cup of coffee.



Stephen Winch – E-Commerce Coordinator & Wine Advisor

My love of wine started in earnest when I discovered the beautiful Rioja region on a road trip back in 2003. It became a way of living for me when I took a sales job in New York Cities best and largest wine store in 2011.

I am most passionate about the wines of Rioja and California’s Napa Valley. I am also very passionate about whisky and whisk(e)y. I am especially fond of the peat / smoke driven Single Malts produced on the island Islay and the spicey grassy Rye whiskey produced in the USA.

I am also a relatively bad squash player!
