Proposed Establishment of the San Luis Obispo Coast (SLO Coast) Viticultural Area

摘要

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) proposes to establish the 408,585-acre "San Luis Obispo Coast" viticultural area in San Luis Obispo County, California. TTB is proposing to recognize both "San Luis Obispo Coast" and the abbreviated "SLO Coast" as the name of the proposed AVA. The proposed AVA is located entirely within the existing Central Coast AVA and would encompass the established Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley AVAs. TTB designates viticultural areas to allow vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to better identify wines they may purchase. TTB invites comments on this proposed addition to its regulations.
