St. Vincent is a red wine grape that originated in the United States from a chance seedling that first came to the attention of Scott G. Toedebusch, in 1973, while managing a vineyard owned by Lucian W. Dressel in Augusta, Missouri.[1] Dressel originally called the vine “Stromboli” because the leaves turned a bright red in the fall, and the vines had volcanic production. Philip Wagner of Boordy Nursery in Maryland, one of the original propagators of the vine, suggested that a more melodious name would be St. Vincent, (the name of the patron saint of the Cote d'Or in Burgundy), and the name was changed.[2]
