Try them on a toroidal inductor, even at HF. I have good reason to
believe they won't have anything like a model to predict self
capacitance/resonance.

Model making is driven by need. 1nF capacitors don't exist on-chip
(at least not very often , so I don't have a model. But I have
built a model of a wirebond that is good up into the 3GHz range.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
