WINE RECOMMENDATION Cline Cellars 2005 Ancient Vines Zinfandel (Contra Costa County) Lumped into the larger Central Coast AVA until 1999 – and now included in the slightly smaller San Francisco Bay AVA – the century old vineyards that remain in Contra Costa County are shrinking daily. Pre- Prohibition, more than 6,000 acres were planted and the area was home to 27 wineries. Today some 1,500 acres are planted to Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Carignane – “kerrigan” in local dialect – Alicante Bouchet, Chardonnay and Palomino, but not a single winery remains. Old vines of all types are common here and give dense, richly fruited wines. Most vines are gnarly, dry farmed and have taken 75 to 120 years of head-pruning. Light sandy soil facilitates drainage and allows for deep root penetration by vines. Crops are small, with an average of 1.5 tons per acre. This ruby red wine is not so much about Zinfandel as it is about terroir. With notes of farmlands, hay, and fresh rural air – like that of Central Marin after a rainstorm – as well as mineral and wet cement tones, it is only after some breathing that the full force of the fruit comes to life. Herbal notes of sage and tarragon play a supporting role as vivacious strawberry, rhubarb, and dried cranberry fruit notes take center stage. This is one great American wine, and is very fairly priced. Reviewed November 20, 2006 by Catherine Fallis .

This District, which is the most southeast sub appellation within the Paso Robles AVA, is an absolutely fantastic place to grow wine grapes, partly due to its average 55 degree temperature swing from day to night (the highest diurnal temperature swing in the United States!), and also in part to its combination of sandy and clay soils that promote very vigorous vines.

Lamorinda AVA Petition
PETITION TO ESTABLISH A NEW AMERICAN VITICULTURAL AREA TO BE NAMED LAMORINDA The following petition serves as a formal request for the establishment and recognition of an American Viticultural Area to be named Lamorinda, located in Contra Costa County, California. The proposed AVA covers 29,369 acres and includes nearly 139 acres of planted vines and planned plantings. Approximately 85% of this acreage is occupied or will be occupied by commercial viticulture (46 growers). There are six bonded wineries in the proposed AVA and three additional growers are planning bonded wineries. The large number of growers and relatively limited acreage demonstrates an area characterized by small vineyards, a result of some of the unique characteristics of the area. This petition is being submitted by Patrick L. Shabram on behalf of Lamorinda Wine Growers Association. Wineries and growers that are members of the Lamorinda Wine Growers Association are listed in Exhibit M: Lamorinda Wine Growers Association. This petition contains all the information required to establish an AVA in accordance with Title 27 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 9.3. List of unique characteristics: All viticulture limited to moderate-to-moderately steep slopes carved from of uplifted sedimentary rock. Geological rock is younger, less resistant sedimentary rock than neighboring rock. Other surrounding areas are areas of active deposition. Soils in Lamorinda have higher clay content, a result of weathered claystone. The topography allows for shallow soils and good runoff, reducing moisture held in the soil. Despite its position near intrusions of coastal air, Lamorinda is protected from coastal cooling influences. Daytime microclimates are more dependent on slope, orientation, and exposure, leading to a large number of microclimates.

May 2019 A WINE ENTHUSIAST’S MONTHLY JOURNEY THROUGH MONTEREY’S WINE COUNTRY Do you ever get confused when staring at the label on the front of a wine bottle? It’s perfectly okay to admit, as it certainly can be confusing. This STORE HOURS is definitely true when we try deciphering labels from foreign countries. References to castles and countries on French wine bottles? Italian labels A Taste of Monterey claiming that the wine inside is “classic?” And something that looks like Cannery Row “reserve” on some Spanish bottles? Even our wine labels in the States can be Sun-Thu 11am-7pm unfamiliar if you don’t know what to look for…so, what does it all mean? Let’s try and make some sense of these crazy labels! Fri-Sat 11am-8pm* U.S.A. Food service begins at 11:30am daily We all are aware of a wine being from California or Washington State or New *No new member tastings York State, but our labeling system after 6pm provides finer details if we look closer. For example, a bottle with a generic “California” label means that the grapes for that wine could have been sourced from throughout Californian vineyards. If a specific county in California is identified, then you know that the grapes were sourced from that particular county. Next, if an American Viticultural Area (AVA) is listed on the bottle’s label, one is informed that the majority of the grapes originated within that particular AVA. However, note that this could encompass multiple counties. For example, the Central Coast AVA includes portions of six Californian counties, including Monterey.

What Proposed Revisions to Wine Labeling Requirements Mean for Growers, Producers, and Consumers Deborah Soh

J. Corp. Fin. & Com. L. 491 (2019). Available at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/bjcfcl/vol13/iss2/7 This Note is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. SOMETHING TO WINE ABOUT: WHAT PROPOSED REVISIONS TO WINE LABELING REQUIREMENTS MEAN FOR GROWERS, PRODUCERS, AND CONSUMERS ABSTRACT Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations governs the standards for the information that is printed on wine bottle labels, including the appellation of origin. Currently, however, wines are exempt from these regulations if they will not be introduced in interstate commerce. There is a proposed amendment to the Code that would bring all wines, regardless of whether they are sold interstate or solely intrastate, under the federal standards for wine labeling. Between the current system, which permits exempt wines to sidestep the regulations, and the proposal, which would exact strict standards of compliance uniformly, lies a middle-ground approach that would apply federal regulation to all wines while also defining the distinction between appellations of origin and identification of grape sources.

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision. SUMMARY: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is modifying the boundaries of the “Santa Lucia Highlands” viticultural area and the adjacent “Arroyo Seco” viticultural area in Monterey County, California. The boundary modifications include two separate actions—removing approximately 376 acres from the Santa Lucia Highlands viticultural area, and removing 148 acres from the Arroyo Seco viticultural area and placing them entirely within the Santa Lucia Highlands viticultural area. The Santa Lucia Highlands and Arroyo Seco viticultural areas and the modification areas are located entirely within the existing Monterey and Central Coast viticultural areas. TTB designates viticultural areas to allow vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to better identify wines they may purchase. DATES: This final rule is effective [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS FROM DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen A.
