The Wine and Cheese Cask, located just outside of Inman Square at the corner of Washington and Beacon, is a great market that will handle all of the Wine and Cheese needs you have. Their selection of cheese, pate, and cheese accoutrements is quite thorough. Feel free to ask to try a cheese, they usually will accommodate and help you make buying decisions without making you feel like an idiot for not knowing the difference between Tellagio and Gruyere. (One of my absolute favorite cheeses available here is the Double Cream Gouda). The wine selection is not mammoth, but what they have is top quality at very reasonable prices.
Sidenote: the cheese counter stays open as long as the shop is open for those late night cheese binges!
