The boundary, as written into law

Every American wine appellation is defined in federal regulations by walking the boundary landmark by landmark. The official description of this one begins:

(1) The beginning point is the point where N.Y. Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) crosses the New York-Connecticut state line. (2) The boundary proceeds northerly along the New York-Connecticut state line and the New York-Massachusetts state line to the northeast corner of Columbia County, New York. (3) The boundary proceeds westerly along the Columbia County-Rensselaer County line to the Columbia County-Greene County line...

Boundary traced by the UC Davis Library from the official descriptions in federal regulation, and released under an open licence. Smoothed for manufacturing. Decorative use only, not for legal boundary determination.
