Pros: Somewhat intriguing earthy flavor. Hard to find. Cons: Slightly greasy taste. Crisco? Butter-flavored Crisco?
This is part of the second Epinions wine Cyber Taste-off, presided over by Lambira, our honorable Queen of Wine. Other (much more qualified than l'il ol' me) participants in no particular order include Leah, PeterLRuden, cornelia, forkids, kimmiko,...
Pros: Big nose, good one to put away for awhile Cons: Expensive, not that great, yet
Well, welcome to the February 2000, Cyber Taste Off. This is a leap year, don't you know, so we are tasting two "Leaping Wine." This review is of the ‘96 Stag's Leap NapaValley Petite Syrah. Working with Lambira, Queen of the Wine for February,...
Pros: A deep plum colored, rich, chewy, teeth staining kind of wine Cons: I could not determine all of the aromas after one bottle, Can I try again?
A big sigh of relief was uttered when I found one of the stars of the show, 1996 Stags’ Leap Petite Syrah, not to be confused with Syrah or Shiraz. Oh, my goodness, what did I get myself into? Well, I got myself onto the guest list for the...
Pros: Doesn't interfere with dancing to Bonnie Raitt Cons: Much Ado About Nothing
Hard to say how many pairs of hands this single bottle of Stags' Leap 1996 Petite Syrah has passed through since bottling in May of 1998 and release in April of 1999, but I can tell you the last pair of legs it rested between. Kimmiko kindly tried to...
Pros: Nice full-bodied wine with good fruit flavors Cons: At $26.00 a bottle its not inexpensive
Hi Folks, tonight, in celebration of Leap Year, this review is part of the Coast To Coast CYBER TASTE OFF wherein 10 wine guzzling members of Epinions.Com are participating in rating, reviewing and otherwise quaffing the same two wines, hoping for...
Pros: Lots of potential. A big, dense, filling mouth of black cherry, hints of various sweet fruits and peppery spice Cons: Aggressive, tannic, a bit tough; also stained the heck out of my teeth
This February Leap Year CTO harnessed the power of two mighty animals: the Stag and the Frog. Part two of my CTO experience found me in our green overstuffed easy chair (an appropriate throne for the temporary Queen of Wine, I thought) in front of the...
Pros: Subtle, complex, hearty, nice Cons: expensive, hard to procure
Greetings and welcome to the second part of my contribution to the 2nd C2C WTO, the red. The powers that be have a silly sense of humor and chose two "leap"ing wines for this Leap Year.
Pros: Uh, uh, ummmmm, still thinking.... Cons: Very overpriced, did not deliver
The theme for this coast to coast cyber taste off couldn't have been better for this leap year: leaping stags, leaping frogs, leaping critters, take a leap...are you getting the idea? I was ready to leap off a cliff after I...
Pros: Big and Flavorful - Room to grow Cons: No more left in town

Pros: It is the best Wine I've Ever Had Cons: It's hard to find
In 1999 I visited Napa Valley CA with a few of my friends. When we went there we did many things including hot air balooning, swimming, tanning, and of course we visited all the famous Napa Valley vineyards. Everywhere we went we took the tours of...
