Unique Windsor lounge expanding

By Kylie Turner

A local business owner has opened a second location of his upscale lounge hoping it will be as successful as his first location.

Wineology is located on Wyandotte Street East in Windsor. The second location, in Tecumseh, had its opening the first weekend of November to celebrate the first location’s anniversary. The first location opened in 2014 and celebrated its second year anniversary the first week of November.

Wineology offers many types of wines originating from 15 different locations around the world. The blended and regional red wines on the menu alone come from 11 different countries. Wineology also serves local red and white wine from Essex County.

Emilie Gloor is a student at the University of Windsor and said she is a customer at Wineology.

“The service was great and the servers helped out a lot with the different wines and the tastes we would like,” said Gloor.

Food and wine pairing is offered at Wineology and helps customers to select a wine with a flavour that will compliment their meal. Wineology holds events throughout the year, including piano and complimentary wine tasting, DJs and wine education courses.

Jasmine Nasser, another student at the University of Windsor, has been to Wineology once with some friends.

“I heard about it through a friend and have been madly in love with the atmosphere, wine, pizza, and chocolate fondue ever since,” said Nasser.

The food menu includes tapas, meals, desserts and fondues, along with wood-oven pizza. Their menu has a large variety of items to choose from.

“It’s for people who like to have fun, wine lovers, food lovers, for dates … all different types of people,” said Owner Jean-Claude Boulos.

“We’re very unique and very innovative.”

Boulos said he plans on opening more locations, two of them being in Toronto.
