NORTH BEACH—Now that Tosca Cafe is settling into its new incarnation, wine director Ceri Smith (Biondivino) is upping the ante with a special weekend by-the-glass offering of wines from different Italian regions. Tonight and tomorrow only, she'll have 15 different vintages from Montalcino and Montepulciano; expect other regions to be featured biweekly. [EaterWire]
RUSSIAN HILL—Speaking of Biondivino, the shop will once again play host to a Sunday waffle pop-up from Chris Bottorff of Chrissy's Waffles. For "Wafflesgiving," he'll offer malted pumpkin-buttermilk waffles or bacon-and-herb waffles ($8), paired with a grapefruit-prosecco cordial. It runs from 12-3 pm. [EaterWire]
