- Readers tracking the proposed Texas AVA
- Worth noticing
- The proposed boundary follows Hickory Sandstone terrain and elevation, and is drawn to leave most of the granite outside.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the case across boundary, land, water, vineyards, status, and public-record sections. It says the boundary is drawn to leave most granite outside and notes that the displayed line is simplified; the site also identifies itself as made by the petitioners and independent of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
