Best designed + accessible sites?

I'm looking for sites that combine both great accessibility and great design to recommend as proof-of-concepts.

To be clear, I'm not just looking for great accessible sites. I'm not able to use sites with boring design but great accessibility.
I'm looking for sites that I can use to show how HTML5 + CSS3 + ARIA enable great design and accessibility together.

The goal is to prove to clients that they can have their cake and eat it too. I realize its a subjective as well as visual determination, sadly in a way my request is somewhat inaccessible.

I've already found the resources below:
Terrill Thompson's Blog<http://terrillthompson.com/blog/229>;
UX Myths<http://uxmyths.com/post/702066202/myth-6-accessible-sites-are-ugly>;

There's also this post which has a few good ones:
Sitepoint Forum Post<http://community.sitepoint.com/t/list-of-best-accessible-websites/1838>;

What are your industry favorites? Is there a site you think has award winning design coupled with best-in-class accessibility?
Better yet, can you recommend an up-to-date blog or site that already has a list?

Thanks!
Jordan
