The Real Sonoma Coast Appellation is Here

It's called West Sonoma Coast. I'm not sure who all was behind laying out the Sonoma Coast growing area that came about over three decades ago, but if you buy wines based on that AVA there may or may not be any actual coastal influence on the grapes in the bottle. That's finally been fixed with the West Sonoma Coast AVA.

On the map you can see the outline of the Sonoma Coast growing area. It goes many miles inland to significantly warmer areas. The new West Sonoma Coast area actually stays with coastal influences in the vineyards.
