Healdsburg is home to a hidden Prohibition-style wine bar slated to open March 10 that naturally enough calls itself the Speakeasy. The lovechild of Richard and Kae Rosenberg, the Speakeasy is an homage to Richard's grandfather's tales of clandestine taverns of yore. Featuring such small-lot boutique vintners as William Seylem, Dellinger and George Wine, the Speakeasy will also feature beers crafted after the manner popular during the Jazz Age and Great Depression. Visitors enter through an antique phone booth strategically placed near Zin Restaurant at the corner of Healdsburg Avenue and North Street. 707.473.9463. (Tell 'em the Boho sent ya.)
