Title: Proposed Establishment of the Tehachapi Valley Viticultural Area 
Abstract: TTB received a petition to establish the 42,100-acre Tehachapi Valley viticultural area in south central Kern County, California. Approximately 75 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, Tehachapi Valley lies 120 miles north of the Los Angeles metropolitan area and 300 miles south of San Francisco. Distinguishing features of the proposed Tehachapi Valley viticultural area include a four-season climate, and valley topography at 3,760 to 4,600 feet in elevation surrounded by mountains peaking as high as 8,000 feet in elevation. The distinctive soils, derived from erosion of the granite in the surrounding mountains, covers the alluvial fans and terrace of the valley floor.
