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 on the Manson map at the intersection of the east shore of Lake Chelan and the north boundary line of section 15, T28N/R21E, north of Greens Landing. From the beginning point, proceed straight east 1.6 miles along the northern boundary line of sections 15 and 4 to its intersection with the 2,000-foot elevation line, T28N/R21E; then (2) Follow the meandering 2,000-foot elevation line...
