Note:
Date estimated. Shows the wine making communities of Sonoma - Mendocino, Napa Valley - Solano, Alameda - Contra Costa, Lodi - Sacramento, Santa Clara - San Benito - Santa Cruz, Modesto - Escalon, Fresno - San Joaquin Valley - Kern, Southern California. The unusual feature is the addition of two paper labels identical in design to the printed labels. The "Fresno - San Joaquin Valley - Kern" label is a correction to the name on the map itself (adding 'Kern'); the other label "Modesto Escalon" labels a previously unidentified area. There is a decorative inset at lower left which lists "The Wine-Making Towns of California." The decorative border features quotes about wine. Colored vignettes in wine growing regions; otherwise in brown.
