I am looking for and curious about...

I am looking for a bottle of 1996 or 1997 Santa Maria Cab S. I am also curious of the current value of a bottle of Toad Hollow Pinot Nior 1997. It was the last Pinot Nior made using The Toad Hollow Vinyards.

Hi Eye, and welcome to the Wine Board. You should be able to find the answers to both your questions at www.wine-searcher.com

I am not familiar with Santa Maria Winery, if there is such an animal. There is a Santa Maria Valley wine region in CA however.

Toad Hollow has no value, sorry.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to find the Santa Maria. I think the name is Byron Santa Maria Pinot Nior. It was probably the best tasting wine my taste buds ever had. I have never recieved so many comments at a party for a particular wine. The wine was a gift from a good friend who told me The same thing.
I guess I am a little disapointed about the Toad Hollow though, It was the last Pinot Nior Made Robin Williams brother and I have had a few offers from a few Dallas Restaurants.
Thanks again,

I'm not sure I understand where you're going with the Toad Hollow. As Bucko said, it's not really worth anything, so if you got a real offer from a restaurant, take it quick. By the way, Todd Williams still makes Pinot Noir from estate fruit. He just released the 2000, made by Rodney Strong. If you liked the Byron Santa Maria Valley Pinot, you might be interested to know that it's the low end of Ken Brown's Pinot Noir portfolio. He usually makes three or four others each year that are super.
