Comment from Straw, Jack

Before 'adjusting' the lines on the map, perhaps you (the Regulatory Body) should actually visit the area under consideration. In no way can an educated individual even attempt to make a logical argument with merit that an area so far away from the Russian River be considered part of that appellation. The weather, soil, and fauna are completely different. The annual rainfall is nowhere near the same as the Russian River Valley. This is simply another attempt by a large business with money to make the laws conform to what they want.
