count it upWhat this adds up to
Every number on this page comes out of the corpus at build time. Nothing is decorative and nothing is rounded to flatter.

American Viticultural Areas by the decade of the Federal Register notice that made them, from 27 CFR part 9. The 1980s rush is the first generation of petitions; the ones since are mostly smaller areas carved out of larger ones.
Who is kin to who
Every link a record makes, by the kind of page at each end. Regions point at everything; the table points back at the ground it came off.
The week, honestly
945 of 3,055 cellars name a single day either way. 511 say they open on Sunday, 434 say they close, and 2,110 have told nobody this project can read. Unknown is drawn dashed and counted as unknown. open closed not published
