If your talking about the "Academy of Vocal Arts" I will have to check with Troy.

If your talking about "American Viticultural Areas" counting them up from coast to coast and border to border I come up with 198.

 

[Runningwolf]

Damn Rocket you beat me to the press of the finger!

I guess that's why I'm the rocket man. My wife says I'm fast at everything.:<

 

[Tom]

OK so we ONLY have 2 winemakers that can answer this ?

 

[Tom]

My final answer is B. 198

OK ROCKET MAN !!
You say B or is it C?
C is 198 NOT "B"
OR is it "B" ?
What U been drinking I's surprised that Dan didnt see the typo.

 

[Runningwolf]

I am trying to behave today.

 

[rocket man]

OOPS!!!! I guess I type faster than I can think. The answer is 198 so I guess my final answer is C 198. I wished I was sampling a little wine when I answered but that was just before I went to work. That's okay though I'm going home here shortly so I'll have to start sampling right away.

According to the TTB as of 1/7/10 there we 198 official AVAs.


Congrats to those who got it right !

 

[Lurker]

I can answer it now.

 

[Dugger]

What's an AVA? If it's American Vitacultural Area, what's that?

Ok, I looked it up and it is kinda what I thought. Since it comes under the umbrella of the TTB, are there some kind of regulatory controls in these areas that would, say, supercede state laws? Or is it a designation to let someone know what kind of grapes might be expected to grow in that area?
I see we have only 7 VA's in Canada, in southern BC and Ontario.
I'd not heard or seen the designation before so just curious.

Any kind of grapes .

Thanks, Tom, I think I get it now - if a wine is produced and is labeled as being from a certain AVA, then minimum 85% of the grapes used in that wine must come from that AVA, so it's a way to advertise and market but with some controls.
