Vinology, located at 110 S. Main, recently opened in Ann Arbor and is the sister business to Vinotecca, which opened last year in Royal Oak, MI. Both were started by John and Kristin Jonna, former proprietors of Merchants of Vino (now owned by Whole Foods) and current proprietors of Merchants Fine Wine.

Both locations serve a wide variety of reasonably priced wines by the glass, as well as a range of import and domestic beers. Each restaurant features a tapas food menu and has a retail wine shop in the basement.

Neither restaurant should be confused with vinology.com, which is the primary website for The Wine School of Philadelphia or Vinismo, the Wine Wiki

• Roving Fork: Vinology, April 2009

To their credit, Vinology is a beautiful venue, from it’s old school front face to it’s modern yet rustic interior. It is at its heart a wine bar. They should stop trying to be something else. Stick with the small plates (they’re all small anyway) and get some cheese on a wood board on this menu. Hell, it can even be local cheese.
