Title: Revision of the Mendocino Ridge Viticultural Area Name 
Abstract:

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.
