- Worth noticing
- The homepage pairs a simplified boundary line with sandstone formation, elevation, aquifer, and nine-vineyard scale details.
Field notes
The site frames its proposed boundary through local geology and elevation, and places the area inside both the Texas Hill Country AVA and proposed Llano Uplift AVA. It gives petition-scale figures of nine vineyards and about 190 acres, and points readers toward maps, documents, open data, and a public docket; the boundary line shown on the homepage is explicitly simplified.
