It's been a gradual weaning-off, from the 9-hour days that left me covered in sweat and grape juice and shaking muscles to the 5-hour days that involved a lot of time spent selecting the perfect CD to play as I topped barrels (Billy Bragg & Wilco's Mermaid Avenue). Also weaning myself from the necessary 3,000 calorie d

• Drink of the Week: Sonoma Sparkler's Natural Blood Orange

  The newest flavor courtesy of Healdsburg's Sonoma Sparkler is this gorgeous sparkling blood orange juice. The bubbles are restrained but still manage to elevate the seriousness of the blood orange. It tastes especially luxurious when sipping out of a long-stemmed wine glass. I may have to get some more for NYE. -- Tamara Palmer

  J. Birdsall Farr at work: This could be your dining room table.You know, a house just isn't a home these days without a little pig butchery. Just so happens that if you score the winning bid in the San Francisco Street Food Festival's silent auction, you'll be able to give your flat exactly what it's been lacking -- a personal hog-hacking demo from 4505 Meats' Ryan Farr.

  Amarena cherries and Blu del Moncenisio cheese await enrobing for the Red, White & Blu course.​A recent afternoon at the headquarters of confectioner Recchiuti provided definitive proof that, in the right hands, chocolate and cheese do go together.

  Find a hand job. Or a truckload of Zinfandel grapes.​Nearly 70 years ago, Albert Camus ruminated on the isolation of city life: As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means. If only he'd lived to know Craigslist. We're no longer petals on Pound's black, wet bough, filing out of buses and trains in lines, anonymous faces in the crowd arranged in purely natural forms, images unaware of shared voices or relationships beyond pos
