Black Sheep Bistro

The wine list at Black Sheep Bistro is short, California-leaning, and built for the casual dinner crowd — not for anyone hunting obscure producers. What keeps it from being a total miss is a genuinely aggressive half-price wine night program running three days a week, which changes the math on nearly everything here.

The list reads like a California greatest hits compilation — Prisoner, Bella Glos, Austin Hope — with a nod to Oregon via the Erath Resplendent Pinot Noir. If you're hoping for anything from Burgundy, Rioja, or even a domestic Rhône, keep scrolling because it's not coming. The house pours are Canyon Road across the board, a $10 retail wine appearing on the menu at $22, which is a markup that should embarrass anyone proud of their list. To their credit, the step-up options like the Erath at $39 are actually approachable, and on a half-price night the Bella Glos at $44.50 starts looking like a genuinely good deal.

Six by-the-glass options are on offer, anchored by Canyon Road pours that skew toward quantity-over-quality drinkers. There's no indication of frequent rotation or anything exciting sneaking into the glass program. If you're going by the glass on a regular night, the $4.50 house pour sets the floor — and honestly, on a weekday half-price night, the bottle math wins.
