Pig Out
Every year, Oliveto's tribute to pork, the Whole Hog Dinners, is guaranteed to sell out. With such dishes as choucroute garni, an antipasto of tongue with artichoke and black truffle, and wild boar spare ribs, it's little wonder. A barely known secret: The full menu is also served in the café downstairs, and a number of dishes will likely appear on Sunday's menu. 5655 College Ave., Oakland; 510-547-5356 or oliveto.com

On the Simmer
One of the iconic dishes of Italy's Piedmont region is bollito misto, a panoply of long-simmered meats served with a range of zippy condiments. At Poggio in Sausalito, chef Peter McNee faithfully recreates the tradition for a special menu ($19) this week: He even imported bollito misto's classic tableside cart. Six meats, including oxtail, veal breast and beef tongue, will be on offer. 777 Bridgeway, Sausalito; 415-332-7771 or poggiotrattoria.com

Digging Graves
Delicious Bordeaux wines don't have to be excruciatingly expensive. As proof, sample the fine bottles from Chateau L'Avocat at a casual tasting ($3) at K&L Wine Merchants. Winemaker Nicola Allison will most likely be on hand to discuss her standout red and white wines--and maybe even her rosé. 638 4th St.; 415-896-1734 or klwines.com
