The Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has proposed creating a new viticultural area called “Mill Creek—Walla Walla Valley.” This would cover about 4,898 acres located entirely within the existing Columbia Valley and Walla Walla Valley regions in Washington state.
Why it matters: This is an administrative change that allows local wineries to use a more specific geographic name on their labels, which can help consumers identify where the grapes were grown.
