vinology

Thank god for Yelp events. Even before this event, we've been wanting to check this place out. After the experience, we definitely wanted to pay them another visit. Vinology is different from other wine stores I've been to. What sets them apart is that this place is intimate and they are very selective on what wines they sell. Unique at a reasonable price. The owner and employees take the time to help and educate you on the wines. Not snobby in any way. They offer classes you can take and learn about the wines (check it out online to book). Saturdays, they open at 4:00 to serve drinks or flights. For Dinner (after 6:00 pm) they have Chef John cook a wonderful feast (menu changes weekly) served buffet style. During the day is served coffee. Lookout Joe and Vinology are connected. So you have the best of both worlds. My Mr and I dropped by for wine after lunch. We had wine by the glass at the cellar. Debra (sorry if I misspelled your name) was there to assist us (thanks for remembering us from the event). She was down to earth.We enjoyed wine by the glass:Altos Las Hormigas MalbecKermit Lynch Côtes du Rhône rougeBroccardo Dolcetto d'AlbaAll were good! We also had good conversations with Debra. Owner Michelle dropped by and she remembered us from the Yelp event as well. We talked for a little bit and we will definitely come back for future tastings. Especially on Tuesdays. The whole experience was great. We got to enjoy some wine and purchased two bottles to take home and pair with our meals.We are fans and I can see us as regulars!

We were introduced to Vinology through a Yelp event but have returned for wine by the glass (they have a fairly large and varied selection for Cincinnati) and visited the bottle shop. It's a cozy spot for a glass with friends! The only draw back is finding parking!

My lady and I became big fans of this spot after a wonderful Yelp event here. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and welcoming including the owner herself (and her little dog is undeniably adorable). So we had to stop by for more and we're glad we did.We rolled in on a Saturday afternoon. They share their space with Lookout Joe, a great little coffee shop, so the wine bar opens later in the evening at 4pm. Still, we were able to enjoy a few glasses of wine in the wine cellar shop. Debra, one of staff members, was very inviting and knowledgeable. We enjoyed glasses of Altos Las Hormigas Malbec, Kermit Lynch Côtes du Rhône rouge, and Broccardo Dolcetto d'Alba. All three were excellent, though I especially enjoyed the Cotes du Rhone. Of course, we got a couple bottles to go, and no surprise one was that Cotes du Rhone.We're definitely going back here regularly, especially during the evening on a weekend, when they have a gourmet chef making shareable plates. We might even check out one of their wine classes, like the 10 wines under $20 class. This place has a lot going on and we want to experience it all.

Beautiful beautiful place! It's classy and upscale. I love the owner! She took a big risk leaving her corporate job to start this wine shop which also has tasting classes and an outdoor space to enjoy which you can bring your dog along to. She shares a space with a coffee company which is also excellent! The varieties of wine and coffee are endless here. It's a must try you won't regret!

Vinology is a cute new wine bar and cellar in Mt. Lookout. I stopped in to finish up some emails and was immediately welcomed and shown to a comfy chair. You can absolutely tell how much the employees are invested in making this place great. I got to watch them film some social media promos that were delightful. I would definitely stop back in for a relaxing afternoon.

Had a nice time here during their opening weekend! Great selection of wine, loved to see some bottles from smaller US regions (fingerlakes and willamette, not just the standard napa and Sonoma). Staff was very friendly and inviting! We sat outside on the cute couch set-up and had a lovely afternoon with a bottle of Riesling, on the dry side and not too sweet - fun to try something that doesn't have the typical notes.

Michelle was the absolute best! She assisted and welcomed us even though we were super early. She stopped what she was doing and immediately attended to us allowing us to taste several different wine offerings. The aesthetics are super cute. Go the support this wine bar and enjoy it inside or on the patio.

Gorgeous wine bar open at 4 pm most days. ( check instagram for daily hours). The service was great from the time I walked in and greeted. The bartender was attentive and made suggestions . Which all were wins. The spritz was good but the Rosé for the win. There really isn't 1 I don't like like . If you're familiar with the area parking tight but worth the visit. Go patron Vinology and sip some happiness!

Love the place ambiance. It's small but pretty decorated, and has spacious outdoor sitting. I wanted to check them out since it's just open. They offer taste before buying, after two tasting, I got a bottle right away to bring home, I would say the employees were very friendly and helpful with the choices. I was surprised by how cheap the bottle was. I thought a place like this would hike up there price but I was wrong. I can see myself sitting there drinking with friend and having a great time in the future. I had a pleasant visit and will come back soon for more.

We had a wonderful time at Vinology! Mark's service was fantastic. Beautiful ambience and amazing wine! We will be back :)
