accurate records of winegrapes produced, processed, and marketed,
including, but not limited to, the number of tons of winegrapes
delivered to or received by vintners, whether within or outside of
Mendocino County, the names of the producers from which vintners
receive winegrapes, and records related to the sale of winegrapes,
wine, or winegrape products. The records shall be in simple form and
contain information as the commission shall prescribe. The records
shall be preserved by producers and vintners for a period of five
years and shall be offered and submitted for inspection at any
reasonable time upon demand of the commission or its duly authorized
agent.
(b) For purposes of this section and for any other section of this

assessment established by the commission, but shall collect and
remit assessments and reports regarding winegrapes received that were
produced in Mendocino County.
