1513-AC80 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1513 Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau TTB 1500 Department of the Treasury TREAS Revision of the Mendocino Ridge Viticultural Area Name

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted on behalf of industry members, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to revise the name of the Mendocino Ridge viticultural area in Mendocino County, California, to Mendocino Coast Ridge. 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.
