Department of Treasury July 20, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to establish the 9.7-square mile ``Sierra Pelona Valley'' American viticultural area in southern California. We designate viticultural areas to allow vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to better identify wines they may purchase. We invite comments on this proposed addition to our regulations.
