Title:
Lodi District Grape Grower Association Comment on Notice No. 122 (Comment 23)

Abstract:
In this comment, the Lodi District Grape Grower Association objects to TTB's proposal to amend its regulations to allow vintage dating on wines labeled with a country as an appellation of origin. While the comment acknowledges that the European Commission’s petition seeking such vintage dating has merit, the Lodi association believes TTB’s proposal to such labeling should not be allowed until TTB establishes stricter standards of origin for wine labeled with the "American" appellation of origin. The comment signed by Amy Blagg, the executive director of the Lodi District Grape Growers Association.
