  Appellation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Appellation is also a jurisprudential term (see court of appeal).
Appellations are terms which are associated with saints, churches, God, and particular events in liturgical Christian churches, both eastern and western.
For example, the Visitation is a common appelation for the event during which Mary, the mother of Jesus, went to visit her cousin Elizabeth in the hills as told in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

The U.S. recognizes foreign appellations as (i) a country, (ii) a state, province, territory, or similar political subdivision of a country equivalent to a state or county; or (iii) a viticultural area (27 CFR §4.25a(a)(2).
A viticultural area for imported wines is defined as a delimited place or region the boundaries of which have been recognized and defined by the country of origin for use on labels of wine available for consumption within the country of origin (T.D. ATF-53; 27 CFR §4.25(d)(2)).
Not considered an appellation, the name of a vineyard, orchard, farm or ranch shall not be used on a wine label unless 95 percent of the wine in the container was produced from primary winemaking material grown on the named vineyard, orchard, farm or ranch.

 Medieval Theories: Properties of Terms
In the twelfth century, the primary distinction was that between signification, or univocation, and appellation.
Ampliation and restriction were already functions of supposition (or appellation as it had been), copulation as the naming function of predication is subsumed under supposition, and relatio, the connection of anaphoric terms to their antecedents, becomes a discussion of the supposition of those terms.
Signification contrasts with the other properties of terms in one major respect, for the other properties (perhaps with the exception of appellation in some authors, and natural supposition) are all properties of terms relative to their occurrence in particular propositions -- indeed, they are properties of occurrences of terms.

 Elite Wine - Tasting - 2001 Château de Pibarnon, Bandol appellation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Château de Pibarnon is the flagship estate of the Bandol appellation, a region of restanques where Mourvèdre is king.
Due to a geological accident, Château de Pibarnon's soil is unique, as it is made of limestone from the Trias Epoch (end of the Mesozoic Era) and is hence 150 million years older than the soil of the rest of the Bandol appellation.
The blue marls, which among other things have the ability to retain water, probably contributed significantly to the quality of this 2001 Château de Pibarnon red, as the Bandol appellation was plagued by drought that year.
