BEST AM Radio Station NewsTalk 1530 KFBK

Traffic reports are important to me and I appreciate the up to date broadcasts of backups and accidents. Rush and Tom are always fun to listen to when I don't have clients in the car, but I sure wish they would get rid of the screaming Kia commercial that always makes me change to another station.

BEST Art Gallery Blue Wing Gallery

This is the Very Best place to start your First Friday Art Walk. It is nothing short of amazing how they manage to feature such a variety and quality of featured artists each year. Prices are reasonable and the mediums are varied.

Every month it's like going to a whole new place.

BEST FM Radio Station Capital Public Radio

So nice to not have screaming ads blasting out in the middle of a program. Even for a conservative like myself, there is a variety of programming content and very interesting world news at night. I love the car repair guys, as much as the puzzle of the week, but my favorite is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with the quick wit of Pala Poundstone.

BEST Body Shop Lindstrom's Auto Body

As good as the most expensive and snooty shops, but very nice and patient.

Our pristine, black, BMW 760 Li was damaged and the insurance company immediately agreed that Lindstrom's could handle our claim. Lalo met with me and went all over the car, to check for hidden damage.

He patiently showed me both the obvious and the underlying damage (to the backup sensors). He called the insurance company and reviewed his findings with the adjustor, who had missed this expensive component.

The insurance company covered it all and it looked like new when they finished. Almost a year later it is still a perfect color match (this is not as simple as it sounds)!

Perfect install! It looks like it came from the factory, but it is definitely custom sounds!

Mr. Dantzler is not only a brilliant diagnostician, he is as honest and fair as the day is long.

Thank you for finally fixing what the dealership could not even figure out (but they sure as heck charged me for trying!). Your bill was not only reasonable, but in fact was much less than I anticipated.

BEST Day Spa - Casino The Spa at Cache Creek

A short drive makes you feel a million miles away from the hustle and stress of Sacramento. The rolling hills leading you into the valley, give way to acres of vineyards and ancient oaks and suddenly the Cache Creek resort is there. This spa has some of the very best technicians and the manager, Jennifer, is a genius at putting together fabulous packages: a solo day of refuge; a romantic couples massage; even bachelorette parties. . . .Makes me want to head there right now!

BEST Romantic Restaurant - Casino C2 Steak & Seafood at Cache Creek Casino

A real treat for a special occasion. The ambiance, the food and the service are terrific. Reminds me of a very good New York restaurant at about half the price.

BEST Barbecue Ludy's Main St. BBQ

It's not exactly cheap eats, but you get what you pay for. The ribs are to die for. The burgers are so big you need to bring a friend. The patio is perfect for warm weather dining and parties. The little stream and all the patio art make it fun for everyone. Live music is available on some nights and weekends.

Dr. Julia is able to make my timid dog think he is there to have a fun time. He believes she is simply there for him to be a source of doggie treats and tummy rubs and back scratches.

Not just for buying music and instruments, but for the entertainment fun factor. It's my second stop every First Friday for sure and most Fridays weather permitting. Let the music begin!

Richard is simply the most charming and attentive chauffeur you could ever ask for. He also had the best suggestions for "the next place."
