Abstract
This final rule establishes a viticultural area in the State of Washington to be known as ``Puget Sound.'' The petition for this viticultural area was filed by Gerard and Jo Ann Bentryn, Owners- Winemakers of Bainbridge Island Vineyards. ATF believes that the establishment of viticultural areas and the subsequent use of viticultural area names as appellations of origin in wine labeling and advertising allows wineries to designate the specific areas where the grapes used to make the wine were grown and enables consumers to better identify the wines they purchase.
