Our Story

A Lifelong Wishlist, Poured

Enology Wine Bar & Bistro is the realization of a long-held vision: a place in Saint James where great wine, inspired food, and genuine hospitality meet.

Dr. Dimitrios Jimmy Kilimitzoglou, founder of Enology Wine Bar and Bistro
The Founder

Enology Wine Bar & Bistro was founded by Dr. Dimitrios "Jimmy" Kilimitzoglou, an entrepreneur and community leader with deep roots in Smithtown and a lifelong love of wine.

Jimmy spent years building relationships in the community as the owner of e.s.i. Healthy Dentistry. Alongside that work, another passion grew, shaped by travels through vineyards around the world and the stories behind every bottle. Enology is where that passion found a home: a space designed so that connection can unfold over a shared appreciation for fine wine and crafted cuisine.

The room itself tells the story. Stone, wood, and metal come together to balance global discovery with local connection. Rooted in a Greek heritage of hospitality, Enology is built on a simple belief: every bottle, every plate, and every guest carries a narrative worth sharing.

A Community Cornerstone

Enology is proud to be part of the North Shore. We are a place built on shared stories, where neighbors become regulars and a perfectly chosen bottle is reason enough to gather. You are not just enjoying wine and food here. You are becoming part of a story that keeps unfolding, one pour at a time.
