The estate's address is in Philo, California.1 Philo lies in the Anderson Valley AVA, an American Viticultural Area in western Mendocino County established on 18 August 1983, one year after the property was chosen.2 An AVA defines geography only; it does not set rules for how sparkling wine is made.2
