Title: ●Establishment of the Winters Highlands Viticultural Area 
Abstract:

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted on behalf of local wine industry members, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to establish the 7,296-acre Winters Highlands American viticultural area (AVA) in portions of Solano and Yolo Counties, in California.  The use of AVA names on wine labels, which is voluntary, allows vintners to better describe the origin of their wine and consumers to better identify the wines they may purchase.
