  <title><![CDATA[  Proposed Expansion of the Paso Robles Viticultural Area (2008R- 073P)]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-15-E8-16167</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to 
expand by 2,635 acres the existing 609,673acre Paso Robles American 
viticultural area in San Luis Obispo County, California. If this change 
is approved, the expanded Paso Robles viticultural area would continue 
to lie entirely within San Luis Obispo County and within the multi
county Central Coast viticultural area. We designate viticultural areas 
to allow vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to 
allow consumers to better identify wines they may purchase. We invite 
comments on this proposed change to our regulations.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-06-19-E8-13858</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau announces the 
withdrawal of its proposal to establish the Tulocay viticultural area 
in southern Napa County, California. We take this action because of 
questions regarding the actual name of the proposed viticultural area

labels.
