VASCM: C.C. Appellation

[David or Britta Estrada]

>> Clos Tita is opposed to our appellation's inclusion in the already  
>> far too broad Central Coast appellation.It is well known that  
>> politics and marketing greatly influence boundaries drawn for an  
>> appellation.In it's purest sense though,remember that it really is  
>> a guide for consumers, it should represent some reflection of  
>> typicity and quality.Even at the micro-winery level we've had our  
>> struggles sales wise in recent years, but in the end this proposal  
>> is just a new marketing tool for our neighbors in the large scale  
>> wine blending business.It's easy to understand.Funny thing is,how  
>> do those good producers in Santa Rita or Santa Lucia feel about  
>> using their appellation as vessel to move our stuff in poor vintages?
