Hello,
Delving into wine history I come upon a conundrum, namely, the name
cabernet. I find it recorded, for Cabernet Sauvignon, first in 1736 (earlier
apparently it was called petit vidure). However, I find no indication of the
provenience of the word "cabernet". Sauvignon, OTOH, would indicate somthing
wild, sauvage - untrue, as the grape is a crossing, most likely form the
vineyard, but, udnerstandable.
Does anybody know?

TIA

Cheers

Nils
