Proposed Establishment of the Kaw Valley Viticultural Area
Issued by Treasury Department
What the record says
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) proposes to establish the approximately 3,515,482-acre (5,493-square mile) "Kaw Valley" American viticultural area in northeastern Kansas. The proposed viticultural area is not within any other established viticultural area. 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. TTB invites comments on this proposed addition to its regulations.
