According to the movies, all the protests and underground boozing of the 13 years of Prohibition took place in Chicago and New York, but little St. Helena had its fair share of speakeasies and bathtub gin.
Next month, beginning on Dec. 5, the wineries and businesses surrounding Appellation St. Helena will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Repeal (formerly known as the 21st Amendment) with free tastings, discounted dinners and giant parties.
Among the creative attractions at wineries is a tasting room converted to a speakeasy at Rutherford Grove Winery; waived tasting fee, hors d’oeuvre at Chase Cellars; and a group of boutique wineries gathering to pour at Ehlers Estate.
