With impeccable conditions and no condos or courseside mansions, SJO is perfect for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~45271780996 Thu, 1 Nov 2001 19:40:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_45271780996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/golf-review-711A-3A0CA1E3-3A1ADAA8-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - With the opening of Eagle Ridge, Gilroy may soon be known for golf, instead of Garlic, wineries and outlet malls. But unless you bring your "A" game, you may leave Eagle's Ridge muttering to yourself about how you'd like to take a 9-iron to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~758187 Tue, 21 Nov 2000 18:00:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/golf-review-711A-3A0CA1E3-3A1ADAA8-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-20B7-3BE1AD9-390E764D-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - Maybe because Giants fans have had to put up with Candlestick for so many years, Pac Bell Park looks like Nirvana in comparison. But the puppy love of a new toy is clouding the overall judgement of the place; check out the guy who gave it five stars, yet... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1249088 Tue, 2 May 2000 04:05:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-20B7-3BE1AD9-390E764D-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-19ED-DE6C802-38EC37E7-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - Saying something bad about Wrigley Field is like setting fire to the U.S. Flag. It's like trashing apple pie, and saying you never really liked Mom anyway. But as a native Chicagoan, diehard Cubs fan, and someone who once shagged batting-practice fly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1250063 Thu, 6 Apr 2000 04:49:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-19ED-DE6C802-38EC37E7-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/otdr-review-70CC-5EF96BD-38D7CE5C-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - If you're a longtime expert skier who still needs to be convinced that the whole "shaped ski" phenomenon is more than just manufacturers' hype, you should check out the 9x Pro line from Rossignol. After skiing this board a couple times in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~950972 Tue, 21 Mar 2000 16:58:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/otdr-review-70CC-5EF96BD-38D7CE5C-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-130D-6DF035-388E4141-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - UPDATE, 3/15/00: just returned from another quick trip to Vail, and am happy to report that all of Blue Sky Basin was open. It's as good as promised -- the steep/tree parts that were closed before were open and full of fluffy powder. The best thing about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1289103 Tue, 25 Jan 2000 21:52:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-130D-6DF035-388E4141-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-4CAE-6128568-385ED52A-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - If you want to taste some of the best wines Beringer has to offer, skip the normal tour/tasting room area and head upstairs to the "Library" tasting room, where they pour reserve and older wines. (Last time we were there it was upstairs from... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~835547 Mon, 20 Dec 1999 22:28:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-4CAE-6128568-385ED52A-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-6FE9-2F93EA0-385DFAF8-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - Alameda? A winery in Alameda? While it ain't much to look at, Rosenblum Cellars has the goods where it counts -- inside the bottle. Their wide wide wide range of wines (only a few of which ever make it to stores) are all well worth a taste. If you are a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~835560 Mon, 20 Dec 1999 06:58:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-6FE9-2F93EA0-385DFAF8-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-7792-D4907CA-382CB79D-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - That does it -- I'm never buying these golf balls again! They simply refuse to listen... when I yell at them to "get left!" or "sit down!" they just keep flying straight and true, following the slice I put on them and kicking way past... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1256706 Fri, 12 Nov 1999 22:16:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-7792-D4907CA-382CB79D-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-4003-5AAA766-38195DA7-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - If you haven't skied Loveland lately -- and I mean REALLY skied Loveland, when it's fully open and operational -- give it a look this season. Last spring I stopped by Loveland (after not skiing there the past couple years) and expected to find the same... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1300883 Fri, 29 Oct 1999 06:04:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-4003-5AAA766-38195DA7-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-33C9-591196D-3818F553-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - There's not a lot of bad things you can say about Arapahoe Basin, or A-Basin, as it is known locally. It's got stupendous scenery, is usually free of major crowds, and has some of the most exciting lift-served trails in Colorado. That said, it's not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1300903 Thu, 28 Oct 1999 22:47:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-33C9-591196D-3818F553-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-564F-56C4773-38189710-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - I always find it interesting when "travel experts" review the downhill skiing at Eldora. Most always, Eldora comes off poorly in their eyes -- it's not as big, it doesn't have as good snow, blah, blah, blah. Their mistake? Assuming that Eldora... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1300930 Thu, 28 Oct 1999 16:02:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-564F-56C4773-38189710-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-116E-138AD638-380AA8EE-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - Some of the reviewers in this thread seem to be apologizing for United's Mileage Plus program, which in my eyes is in a steady decline. One reviewer mentions that upgrade coupons are harder to come by, and harder to use. As a longtime United flier, what... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1301187 Mon, 18 Oct 1999 02:23:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-116E-138AD638-380AA8EE-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-2326-11DA52F0-3803789F-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - If you are at all interested in seeing the castles of Medieval France, Sarlat is a great central location to anchor your journeys. Not only is it an interesting town itself (there is a wonderful section of preserved medieval-age structures), it has the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1301484 Tue, 12 Oct 1999 15:40:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-2326-11DA52F0-3803789F-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-789-7D596D5-37E9D308-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - 'Echo," the latest release from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is a winner in my book. Granted I'm a longtime Tom Petty fan, but one who can honestly rate where this album falls in his long catalog: Near the top. If you like Tom Petty at all,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1058227 Thu, 23 Sep 1999 04:36:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-789-7D596D5-37E9D308-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-4E9D-6494736-37E5DC80-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kaps - One of the best features I found in the DryJoy line is the availability of wide and extra-wide models in a wide range of sizes. If you're like me, you may have had problems getting shoes to fit correctly and instead of going wider, you've gone higher in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1257127 Mon, 20 Sep 1999 04:18:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-4E9D-6494736-37E5DC80-prod1?linkin_id=8003929
