Winegrape Renamed 'Geneva Red'

(Wines&Vines) - A red winegrape variety known as "GR 7" was released Feb. 20, 2003, by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at the Viticulture 2003 conference in Buffalo, N.Y., and given the name “Abundance.” That name had to be withdrawn because of a trademark infringement claimed by Abundance Vineyards of Sonoma, Calif. Later that year, GR 7 was renamed "Rubiana," but that name also was withdrawn after a winery claimed to have had prior rights to the name. The Agricultural Experiment Station then decided not to try naming it again.
