  I stumbled upon this spot, and want to make it THE spot.  During the day, the Black Sheep is a cheese and picnic shop with wine and cheese paraphernalia galore.  The owner is a DOLL who is passionate about food, cheese and WINE.  
  
  At night, the place transforms and magic happens.  It is an experience for foodies and wine-os and newbies to the food/wine experience.
  
  During the day, picnic foods to go, cheeses, crackers, sandwiches, salads, wonderful pastries.  At night, its a sultry seductress for the dusk senses.  And served with the charming and warmth of its owner.

  A true wine bar.
  
  Candle-lit, inside and out, 2012 is the second season for this little spot (and I hope it gets more seasons under its belt!)
  
  Pros:
  Great wine list available by the glass, bottle or flight.  
  Incredible selection of cheeses for every palette - and cute names too boot!  
  Totally cute on the inside (A drift wood chandelier?  Loved it!)  
  Not crowded at all - even at 8pm on a perfect-weather Saturday in August; sat right down.  Friendly, attentive service.  
  The most incredible complimentary noshes: olive tampanade and this herbed-olive oil dip.  I would marry that olive oil dip if I could.  
  Affordable:  Each cheese plate ranged from $14-$20 each.  We ordered two plates for 6 people and had plenty to enjoy!
  
  Cons:  
  Wine only.  No beer.  No other booze.  
  Tons of cheese and charcuterie, but not much else.  
  Such a romantic ambiance - except for the shelves of Food Should Taste Good chips in the back room, and soft-drink fridge in the front (do they double as a deli during the day?)
  Bathroom opens directly into the backroom-seating (just keep the door closed, otherwise half the table gets a view they may not enjoy).
  
  Depends on your circumstances, pro/con:
  Not for the kids.
  If you're cholesterol isn't too high, great for killing the wait time for your main-course table to be ready, or make a meal out of the lipid-heavy tapas here!
