You remember right!
The Saratoga was made by Serotta for the City Cycle bike shop, with a geometry City Cycle came up with. It is a non-custom relatively inexpensive, Fierte tubeset bike. While I aspire to own one of every Serotta model made, I love my Fierte (taking it on a century ride tomorrow) and the Saratoga might be a duplicate-ish one. Oh, and I just read a post this week about another Saratoga a guy got for $350, near mint. Yeh, he was lucky...
