US: Healdsburg: Too many tasting rooms?

(PressDemocrat) - Healdsburg, one of Wine Country's premiere tourist destinations, is going through some soul-searching over the plethora of tasting rooms downtown.
Some residents say Healdsburg has reached saturation when it comes to places that serve alcohol.
Planning Commission Chairwoman Kathi Engler, who earlier this month voted against a use permit for a proposed wine bar, said the downtown has “hit a tipping point.”
“Healdsburg is just so much more than a place to imbibe,” added fellow commissioner Betsi Lewitter. “I hear again and again from friends and neighbors that they do not want any more alcohol-related businesses in the downtown.”
