Title: ●Proposed Establishment of the Mount St. Helens 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 (TTB) proposes to establish the approximately 2,161-square mile "Mount St. Helens" American viticultural area (AVA) in Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, and Skamania Counties, Washington.  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.
