Deidre,
You may not realize that there are three organizations with very similar names that include the words "Stags Leap". All three names where inspired by the Stags Leap Palisades, a prominent rock formation. The first of the names referes to the Stags Leap District, a unique wine growing region in Napa Valley. Please note that there is no apostrophe used in this name. The second is Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, one of the founding wineries in the Stags Leap District. Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is own by the Warren Winiarski family and broughtinternational recognition to California when their 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon truimphed over some of France's greates Bordeaux in the renowned 1976 Paris Tasting. Note the apostrophe before the "s". And finally, there's Stags' Leap Winery, a neighbor to Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and part of the Foster's Wine Estate group. Note the apostrophe after the "s". It's quite easy to get confused which makes it all the more important to spell out the names correctly. It's a long winded comment but I hope it adds clarification.
