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:
The Goose Gap viticultural area is located in Benton County, Washington. The boundary of the Goose Gap viticultural area is as described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (12) of this section: (1) The beginning point is on the Benton City map at the intersection of Sections 10, 11, 15, and 14, T9N/R27E. From the beginning point, proceed southwesterly in a straight line for approximately 250 feet to the 700-foot elevation...
