Talk:Catawba (grape)

Concern
The article had claimed that Adlum introduced the grape in the 1850s...I deemed this unlikely since he was dead by 1836. Elakazal 17:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Christie’s auction
FYI, Christie, Manson & Woods, on 25 Feb 1869, sold the wines of “The Right Hon. Lord Ashburton, deceased, Removed from Buckenham, Norfolk”. Lot 97 was “Two Dozens and Eight Bottles of Still Catawaba” (corrected by hand to 2 dozen and 7); and lot 98 was “Two Dozens and Four Bottles of Sparkling Catawaba” (corrected to 2 dozen and 3).

Note to self: pictures 18327-8. JDAWiseman (talk) 23:05, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Possible Origin
It has been written that the Catawba grape was developed in the Port Penn neighborhood of Muncy, PA thus the nickname of Muncy grape. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bamavann (talk • contribs) 06:11, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Missing "not"
In the sentence: "Wine writer Bern Ramey and University of California-Davis viticulture professor Lloyd A. Lider credit Mrs. J. Johnston of Fredericktown, Maryland who wrote to Adlum and said while her late husband always called the grapes "Catawba", she did know where he got the original vines from.[5]" it seems obvious that there is a missing "not" -- it should be "she did *not* know where".

I am not 100% certain, and do not have easy access to the reference, but it seems the rest of the article says the origin is not known.

At first I was just going to leave the sentence as is as I was not certain it was a mistake, but after reading more of the article, I decided to make the change.
