What the agency says
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) proposes to establish the 29,387-acre "Columbia Hills" American viticultural area (AVA) in Klickitat County, Washington. The proposed AVA is located entirely within the boundaries of the existing Columbia Valley AVA. 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 these proposals.
