Origine:
Swenson White
Lon Rombough (a famous American viticulturist, author of the book 'The Grape Grower') states that he sent cuttings of a selection of grapevine plants to a friend of his in Colorado for testing.
The latter having accepted a job in a nursery at Boulder planted some of these cuttings.
One day, a journalist specialized in horticulture visiting the nursery, tasted one of the grapes from one of these vines, and fell in love with it.
Seeing on the label attached to the plant, the name ‘Swenson White’ she named the variety this way in her article published in the magazine “Horticulture”.
Having no idea that, in fact, the label was a shorthand for 'A white grape variety by Elmer Swenson' ('Swenson/White').
Thus, once printed in a national magazine, it became the 'official name' of the new grape variety.
