Outer Coastal Plain AVA
Outer Coastal Plain is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in southernmost New Jersey. It was established as the nation's 186th and the state's third wine appellation on February 9, 2007 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by James Quarella of Bellview Winery, Frank Selak of Sylvin Winery, Larry Coia of Coia Vineyard and Dante Romanini of Panther Branch Vineyard on behalf of themselves and local vintners proposing a viticultural area in southeastern New Jersey known as "Outer Coastal Plain." The 2.25-million-acre (3,516 sq mi) appellation is roughly triangle-shaped and comprises the eastern and southernmost New Jersey regions.
