2008 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - First Place

Best Place to Renew Your Vows

This Mediterranean-style mansion nestled in the foothills in Saratoga lends a certain magical quality to everything from celebrations to art events to live music. Built in 1912, its 175 acres were left by Sen. James Duval Phelan to California to be a place for all of those pursuits.

Best Place to Renew Vows
If you are cheesy enough to want to renew your vows, then this is the right spot. The well-manicured Villa Montalvo is nestled in the Saratoga Hills—private and secluded enough so the rest of the world doesn't have to be subjected to your love ceremony.

The blues great talks about playing with Howlin' Wolf.
By Steve Palopoli (11/12/2009)

" HUBERT SUMLIN is a national treasure. Not just because he played with Howlin’ Wolf for almost 25 years, including on what is to my mind the best blues record ever made, 1962’s Howlin’ Wolf (a.k.a. the “Rocking Chair album”). Or because he also played with Muddy Waters, most notably on the 1957 single “Got My Mojo Working.” Or even because his incredible and unmistakable guitar style influenced everyone from Eric Clapton to Jimmy Page to Keith Richards. "
