You be wine tasting one minute and whale watching the next . Thats right, whether youre in the santa cruz, mendocino or the Carmel Valley wine country, youre not far from the launch point of a whale of an adventure in wine country. My name is nancy. Im the marine biologist and ill be uh talking on the pa today about what we see. Perhaps youre thinking this must be a whale of a tale. Well be taking off here. The idea of whale watching in wine country . For many folks, wine country and whale watching really do go hand in hand. We came out basically to get up into the napa valley, we like wine, well, especially myself. Russ matzen and a group of friends visiting from virginia are combining wine tasting and a day trip with monterey bay whale watch. I want to see some whales were going to an area where we went yesterday which is about another 5 miles further out. Doesnt mean theyre gonna be where they were yesterday, but its always good to look where you went the day before. While eager passengers stand guard with cameras clutched in hand, trip leader nancy blacks on the lookout. Monterey bay is probably one of the best places in the world to see you know a really diversity of whales and dolphins. We can see whales here year round and theres no other place in the world where you really can do that. Oh yeah. Two of them. Excellent. We have our First Sighting whales spotted off our port side. Now there certainly could be others in there, too. We might just barely be getting to the feeding area. So once we get up there well slow down. Sure enough, many more whales break the surface. Schools of playful dolphins descend on our boat, too. You dont get this at disneyland its really exciting. Theres probably over a thousand dolphins with maybe up to 20 humpback whales all around. All the sheer waters are here feeding, too. Theyre all feeding on anchovies. So this is like a big hot spot we hit right in the middle of the ocean. Over the years, nancy has captured video of breeching whales, hunting killer whales and some Close Encounters of the aquatic kind. In fact the humpback whales can be quite curious. Sometimes theyll come right up to our boat. We just stop. If theyre coming towards us we just stop the boat. And sometimes theyre just as curious about us as we are about them so actually that gets pretty exciting. As if on cue today, a humpback does a move called a spy hop to take a peek at the awestruck sightseers. Whoaaa oh gosh seeing the humpback whales so close to the boat was just like indescribeable. It was wonderful. It took us a while to get out there, but when we finally got out there it seemed like everything broke loose and it was real exciting. Everyone agrees they really did have what else . A whale of a good time. Coming up, after that adventure at sea, youll need a little wine country pampering. Youre wrapped in hot steeping wine soaked towels. And later. They get part of the dream, part of the hopes, part of the stoke. The stoke of surfing and making wine, poured into one bottle.

Im one of more than 3 million disabled veterans living in the united states. My brothers and sisters gladly gave our all for our country, but we need help to get our lives back to normal again. Thats why we depend on the dav, the disabled american veterans, to fight for benefits and rights that we earned. Dont forget americas disabled veterans, and remember the dav. When you hear the name fess parker you probably think of his roles as televisions daniel boone or Davy Crockett , or perhaps of his Santa Barbara county winery. But the legendary actor also owns the Wine Country Inn and spa in los olivos where you can head for some vintage r r. In one pampering treatment at spa vigne you can get completely wrapped up in wine. The name of the spa is spa vigne which is a spa of the vinewe try to focus most of our treatments around the wine theme. The wine infusion wrap is deeply relaxing. Therapist diane hovey prepares the infusion. Crushed grapeseeds are mixed in with rosemary, eucalyptus and calendula. We put the herbs insideofa big tea pouch. The tea bag infuses a water bath. Your treatment begins when diane adds the key ingredient, red wine. Its uh one of fess parkers wines. Diane soaks towels in the wine and herb infusion that she lays under and over your body. Okay . Uhhum. Then she wraps you in heated and mylar blankets. The heat relaxes you. Ive heard people describe themselves as being cocooned in their mothers womb if they could imagine what it would be like. Thats might be what its like. Chilled grapeseed leaves are placed over the eyes. The contrasting cool and hot is a nice effect and will keep her body temperature from overheating. Theres also a full body massage once the wrap is removed. Its just a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. That in itself is very healing. Healing and pampering, through wine. Most people eat chocolate with red wine. But did you ever consider that in some cases beer may be a better bet . The man who created petes wicked ale should know. Pete slosberg is an expert in microbrews and now hes got a second career making chocolate. You heard it through the grapevine, cocoa petes in town with beer and chocolate pairings 101. Were going to do a chocolate education session. Pete slosberg is a man on a mission. Hes touring the country, speaking at venues like San Franciscos Cathedral Hill hotel, spreading the word that chocolate goes great with beer, not wine. Yeah, everybody says red wine and chocolate. But when you sit down and actually do it, it doesnt work the vast, vast majority of the time. Beer is something pete knows a thing or two about. You see, hes pete of petes wicked ale fame. He used to run one of the most successful microbrews in the country. I find that pairing chocolates with beer is actually much easier. But dont think petes just trying to sell more beer. Hes not. Pete got out of the beer biz years ago. Now hes running a gourmet Chocolate Company called cocoa petes. The best way to enjoy it is to take a little bite not a big one but a little bite of the chocolate, let it melt on the tongue and as it liquefies try a sip of the beer. Pete leads tastings to introduce folks to his chocolates and to debunk the old myth that theyre best paired with red wine. That was a surprise you know, id think that wine would definitely pair pretty well with chocolate. I would think that. Only about 5 of the pairings work. Literally, 95 of the pairings are either horrible or mediocre at best. The reason beer works better, pete says, is that chocolate and beer have a lot in common. Chocolate and wine do not. Chocolate ranges from fundamentally bitter to sweet. Beer ranges fundamentally from bitter to sweet. So you have much more, a high probability of getting what ill call flavors that come together. Not that were taking petes word for it. Lots of folks are here tonight to put his theory to the test. I wasnt too thrilled about it at first. But it was really good. I think its better than with wine. After an evening of tasting chocolate and beer, petes won over some converts. Wow. Today tasting for the first Time Chocolate and beer, it can match. I think it can match really well. Ive always paired it with wine and tonight is the first time ive paired it with beer, and i have to say, it is great. It seems petes making progress. Cheers . One chocolate lover at a time. To your health, sir. Well theres no chocolate involved, just a little pomace in todays pop quiz. In fact our question today, what is pomace .

Well did you guess the answer to our pop quiz today, what is pomace . Is it a the solid residue left after pressing grapesb a special stone winemakers use to clean their hands orc a chunk of grape skins sometimes found in old wine barrels . Ill admit it, it sounds like something youd use to clean and soften your skin. And in fact i have a pumice stone at home. But in this case pomace is something different. In fact the answer is a. Pomace is the residue left after pressing grapes. In winemaking terms, pomace is the mass of grape skins, stems, seeds and pulp left over after pressing. Consider this your rock solid pop quiz. You know they make wine in wine country but did you know wine countrys also home to several family owned dairies . And just like some wineries are known for their small production artisan wine, weve discovered a dairy that makes an artisan style of milk called raw milk. Thats milk thats neither pasteurized nor homogenized. We recently visited claravale farm in watsonville, to see homegrown milk made fresh at the dairy. Its early on a chilly morning at claravale dairy farm in santa cruz county. The suns beginning to warm the earth, and the cows are growing restless. Moo theyve lined up to be milked, just as they do every morning, round about the same time. Its what theyve been bred to do for hundreds of years. Theyre very comfortable with it. What theyre not comfortable with, however, is our camera. Dairy cows are creatures of routine, and our camera is definitely not routine. But with gentle prodding from alejandro guzman, the cows amble into place for milking. This is called a claw. This is what we hook up to the udder. It has a vacuum in it a pulsation on it so it kind of mimics a calf sucking on the udder. Ron garthwaiteis the owner of claravale farm. Milking these cows may be the workaday routine for ron, but the milk produced here is anything but ordinary. We do not process the milk at all. So whatever the cows are doing, thats what goes into the bottle. Which means the consumers gonna get a much Higher Quality bottle of milk. Claravale farm is one of only two dairies in california producing raw milk. Rons milk basically goes straight from the cow to the customer. Raw milk is milk that hasnt been cooked. Other milks have been cooked to preserve them. In other words, claravale farm milk is not pasteurized. Nor is it homogenized. Nothing is added to it, nothing is taken out. Some of our customers are really Health Conscious so they buy their milk because its um really nutritious. But the other group that buys it, and probably the bigger group, are people who um are just looking for really high Quality Fresh local food. But claravale farms milk might not be for everyone. Since its not pasteurized, each bottle carries government warnings describing the potential risks. Which might give pause to some folks. If people are nervous about buying it then they shouldnt buy it. Rons small herd is all jersey cows. Animals, by the way, not all that concerned with our camera anymore. Ron says jersies produce Higher Quality milk than the holsteins ranched at most large dairies. Within hours of milking, rons product is hand bottled and shipped out mostly to health foods stores like whole foods and mothers market. This is, of course, the Old Fashioned way to run a dairy. But if you ask ron, its the only way hed say the best way to make milk. So if youre interested in quality if youre interested in food and youre interested in seeing what real milk from a good quality cow tastes like, its a totally different thing.

The winemakers we meet are passionate about what they do and the wines they make. And, they often have hobbies that are totally unrelated to wine. In the case of Sonoma Countys Longboard Vineyards, winemaker oded shaked is stoked about surfing, collecting and restoring, what else, but longboards. Behind the label, this vintners connection to a restored barn, surfboards and wine. I like finding old longboards and restoring them. I like the idea of trying to preserve the heritage of eh well the surfing tribe if you want. I feel i definitely that i belong to that. Oded shaked is focused on one of his passions restoring a longboard. This board will eventually join odeds collection. The top board is a jacobs and this is actually the exact same board that i had that was my first board in 1972. The bottom board is an interesting one. Its a hobie and if you see right here, at the back of the board theres still the original permit from the city of Newport Beach from 1969. Odeds hobby is also the namesake of his Sonoma County winery, Longboard Vineyards. On all of my labels i tell people spend more time with surfing with friends and family and less time reading the back copy of wine labels. People have bought the wine just because of the label because oh my dad was a surfer or my partner surfs and then they tasted the wine and they said wow, you know we didnt expect it, its a great wine too. The vineyard here, he calls dakine. Dakine of course being a hawaiian word which could almost mean anything you want but i use it in the sense of the best. In this barn that oded also restored, another surfing related item. Ready to see my little baby . Sure. Five years of sanding and varnishing. Oh look at that woodie. Oded is renovating this classic surfer car. This is a real 1951 ford woodie wagon. Its a labor of love. Its almost done, restored. The outside is done, the engine is done. Ive still gotta finish the interior but uh that is uh. Got your name on it. Got my name on it. Now its my turn to be stoked, when oded offers me a ride. Surfs up. This is so cool. A little joy ride up and down westside drivethat was dakine that was dakine. Yeah, you got it. You may have noticed one thing missing at odeds barn. Winemaking equipment. Thats because he makes longboard wines down the road at j vineyards and winery in healdsburg. Where he pulls double duty as js head winemaker. I fit in longboard into my holidays, weekends, after work, whenever i can. Here he also tends to barrels of longboard. This is the silk road syrah. A handson operation, from grape to bottle. Most likely i touched that individual bottle. They do get that. They get part of the dream, part of the hopes, part of the stoke, part of the passion. Its definitely in there. Wine, waves and soul in wine country. The curfew you have imposed on me is an egregious infringement upon my social wellbeing and freedom. I know my rights, and you cant tell me what to do.

We visit the napa valley artist who delights in the unexpected. This designer puts a modern twist on pearl jewelry. And where you can go to see this vintners temple to art and wine. Bringing this lifestyle into your own home, all now in wine country. Hello and welcome, were in wine country and im mary babbitt. The arts and wine are a natural pairing. In fact many artists make their homes and work in studios throughout wine country. Youll find a wide range of styles, from classical to moden, and just as many mediums, from paint to clay to metal. In our first story, we met a man who not only appreciates wine, he dips his paint brush in it. Our gallery puts the focus on the man known as the artist who paints with wine. Le chateau du niebaum coppola. Philippe dufrenoy paints wine country scenes. Thomas keller french laundry. And wine country celebrities bob and Margrit Mondavi painted with zinfandel. Not with paint but with red wine. My first napa valley. The mondavis may have been philippes first napa subjects but hes been painting winemakers with their own wine for three years. A few years ago philippe painted napa valley winemaker delia viader. He took us back to Viader Vineyards to show us how he goes about painting portraits in his unique way. He begins with a photo session. Taking pictures in black and white. He took a whole lot of pictures and asked me a whole lot of questions about the wine and what i wanted really the philosophy of winemaking. He spent a whole day taking pictures and Walking Around the vineyard uh just trying to capture a feeling. He was taking mostly the steepness of the layout of the vineyard which is very unique and the reservoir at the bottom that is also kind of very bucolic like its pretty ethereal so to speak so very inspiring thats what he thought. Part of the getting to know you process going into the caves drawing wine out of the barrel and tasting it together. This is the wine philippe will paint with back home at his studio in the french wine region of bordeaux. Philippes method is painstaking. He bends down close to the paper as he dips his paint brush in wine and applies it. If you look at the eyes its very incredible that he manages to do that with only one tone one color its only red wine on white paper. And its slowgoing. Each layer of wine must dry and philippe adds more than a half dozen layers to create shadows or depth of color. Depending on the variety of wine he uses, the shade of red wine will vary just like in this painting of delia and her vineyards. Thats because philippe used wine from all three of the grapes she grows. They actually impress the paper in a different way some a little darker more towards the purple deep deep purple and the other ones towards more of a sepia color. Philippe discovered painting with wine by accident. He was in a bordeaux cafe when he wanted to try out a new brush. He didnt have water but he had a little wine left in his glass. He dipped his brush in dabbled a little on the tablecloth and was surprised by the result. Hes the only painter that gets to like the paint and gets to drink it. Like red wine philippes painting change over time. Air keeps oxidizing the wine and it keeps kind of fading away turning like the wine would go from young very deep purple to almost ochre in color. A philippe original may last only ten years. But just as art often imitates life, philippes work reflects the true nature of the wine painted on his canvases. Stay with us, theres more still to come in wine country. Up next, crafting wine country art on a potters wheel. If youre looking for art in wine country, head to the napa valley town of calistoga. There in a small working studio youll find a husband and wife team getting their hands dirty. Their homegrown pottery is used in restaurants and homes all over wine country. Occasionally a piece of art leaves here disguised as a pot. In a tiny studio tucked into the trees in calistoga, jeff and Sally Manfredi practice an ancient art, making handcrafte d pottery. Were very happy to be making things that are useful and strong and good. Stop by the studio and you can watch the manfredis turn hunks of clay. Im letting the clay know its about time to do something. Into beautiful stoneware. Jeff throws the pots. His skillful hands molding clay into vases and bowls that blend form and function. I keep my thumb here it helps to compress and give a nice detail to the lip. This is where everything gets fired the first time. The pieces are kilndried. And then sally takes over, gazing and decorating the pots. What im doing is carving. Basically scratching off the glaze and the waxhere shes inlaying a barnyard design into a mixing bowl. Hopefully people will be using these things for a long time and making up their own stories looking at these animals. Then you open it up. Its a team effort. From the first throw to the final firing. Im doing the part he doesnt really love, that i love, and hes doing the part that i dont really dont really love that he loves. Thats what its about. The manfredis have also found a way to capture the vineyards of wine country in stoneware. Jeff makes glazes from the ash left behind after local vines have been pruned and burned. They really reflect whats in the soil in each particular vineyard. Though their pottery is beautiful the manfredis say they arent interested in making art. Their stoneware is designed to be used every day and it is, in kitchens all over wine country. These bowls, most of these down here, are all going to the local market. Jeff and sally have been collaborating on calistoga pottery for more than 20 years. Part of the enjoyment is the feedback. People will call or come back ten years down the road and say, you know i just cant tell you how much fun weve had and enjoyment out of using your dinnerware everyday. In fact they say their handcrafted stoneware is more popular now than ever. Becau se it represents a simplicity and connection with the earth not found on the mass market. Dont go away, when we come back, unusual pearl jewelry handmade in wine country. Welcome back, were in wine country and im mary babbitt. Art comes in many forms in wine country. For one artist, that means necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Weve discovered homegrown jewelry thats definitely not your grandmothers pearls. Turquoise is turning heads all over wine country. Big and chunkys in right now. The earthy stone is back and bigger than ever. Heres another turquoise. Wine country jewelry designer soni bergman puts her own twist on the turquoise trend creating necklaces and earrings that wont leave you looking like a rhinestone cowboy. She works with unusually shaped stones and instead of bright blue turquoise, soni gravitates toward green. This is turquoise also. Ill let you hang on to that one. And its all knotted and the reason i loved it is cuz it looks like it came right out of the soil. Her down to Earth Designs define wine Country Style and are popular at the boutique on the vine in st. Helena in napa valley. This is one of my favorite pieces, and this gives you a good example of the wonderful choice of stones and how she puts them together and creates a wonderful design. Soni creates her one of a kind designs from a backyard studio in the middle of her garden. Its much better than a cubicle. Um its um you know, i can hear the sounds, i can see my cats. A few years ago soni left a high tech job in silicon valley. I did um technical illustrations um for a networking company. To chase a dream. Today instead of creating images with a computer mouse, shes stringing pearls and other semiprecious gems by hand. Soni says shes always loved jewelry so she started making it herself, first as a hobby then friends started asking to buy her designs. They would buy things off my neck at work. So soni stuck her neck out and began making jewelry fulltime. In this windowed jewelry box built by her husband david. The roof opens up. The roof is hinged across the back and it opens like the lid on a box. Soni creates jewelry that is distinctive and yet approachable. I kind of go for something thats dramatic uh but can also be feminine at the same time right too. Her pieces are meant to work with a nice dress, or jeans and a teeshirt. Some of sonis favorite necklaces are made of pearls. But shes quick to point out, theyre not your grandmothers pearls. A lot of people say to me when they come by sometimes, i have pearls but theyre my grandmothers or theyre my mothers, or my mother bought them for me. And i just kind of want to show people that you can wear pearls and they dont have to be the round traditional white. And a little twist. Shes decided to string the white pearls on a lovely black thread, so you have a black and white story. Soni looks for irregularly shaped pearls with brilliant colors. Often shell add a pendant to the strand, like this moonstone. Because you can dress them up or down, sonis designs are a good fit for wine country. Its very earthy in its feel, uh its very natural. We were taken with the stones that she chose, the way she put them together, and her jewelry enables us to offer our customer something unique, a bit trendy but not too trendy. For soni the satisfaction comes from handcrafting wearable works of art the fun aspects are what materials you can put together and and how they relate to, you know, the the each individual person. Prices for sonis earrings, necklaces and bracelets start at around sixty dollarsdesigns putting a twist on jewelry in wine country. Clos pegase in napa valley is more than just a winery. In the words of its owner jan shrem, it is a temple to art and wine. Jan gives us a look behind the label at his passion and the greek mythology that inspires it. How do you make a small fortune in the wine business . You start with a large fortune. Walk around the monumental clos pegase winery and you can see its founder, jan shrem, started with a very large fortune indeed. This former publisher turned vintner owns one of the most impressive wineries in the napa valley. It is 450 acres of vines. And 20 thousand square feet of underground caves. Its a very happy medium for entertainment. Clos pegase is a showcase for shrems estate wines. And his vast collection of modern art and winerelated antiquities. Here youll find more than 300 pieces from shrems personal collection. From the dutch abstract expressionist appel. To the english sculptor henry moore. His sculpture of mother earth is there to remind us thats where it all begins, she is the one who gives life to the grapes. The winery itself is the fruit of a Design Competition sponsored by shrem and the San Francisco museum of modern art. Internation ally renowned architect Michael Graves was selected over 96 others to build shrems dream, a temple to wine and art. He is the only one who incorporated symbolic elements into the design. For example he opened this up to the sky, he told me, to welcome the waters released by the pegasus. Which in greek mythology gave birth to wine and art. The myth of the pegasus inspired the name clos pegase, and greek mythology seems to come alive here. Shrem may be the winerys founder, but hed tell you bacchus, the greek god of wine, is really in charge. Bacchus was on of the most important gods in antiquity. He was a rascal. Yet they built gigantic marble temples to him. He was a big time greek god. Shrem embraces the rascal spirit of bacchus. Amid all the serious artwork at clos pegase, youll find pieces full of whimsy and humor. Oh, youre playing russian roulette, but my wife says i am so hardheaded, that my head would break it. A perennial favorite . The giant thumb by the french artist cesar ballanchine. My interpretation is that it is a giant bacchus sleeping under the winery sticking up his thumb. Thumbs up its one of the most photographed objects in the napa valley. This is the thumbs up shot, take one. Ok . We got hawaii, florida. Ok . One. Two. That gets a thumbs up. Shrem is as eager to share his artwork as he is his wine. Each year he selects two paintings from his collection for the clos pegase ultra premium hommage wine labels. Hommage means homage to the memory of an artist in our collection with the best wine we can offer to his memory. When the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms objected to the label featuring a nude by french artist jean dubuffet. They made us castrate the poor guy. Shrem took the bureau to court. And after a 10 year battle, he won. Im glad to tell you that with the 98 vintage i finally have approval for the full monty, ha ha. Shrems vision for clos pegase is a place where you can contemplate a cabernet or drink in contemporary art. Its a labor of love, of course. A monument worthy of the greek gods, but friendly enough for just folk. Theres more arts in wine country just ahead, one napa valley winerys tie to the arts. So this like Thomas Edison and bondage kind of thing. Many wineries have art collections that you can view during a visit. But one winery in napa valley goes the extra mile. They have an artist in residence. Come along on our gallery tour and discover the works of artist gordon huether. Wow man im lucky. Lucky, everyday is lucky. Gordon huether doesnt sound like your typical tortured artist. Looking good. Looking good. Maybe its because hes from napa. People expect you to be from new york or la, or Something Like that. Im from napa and you just have to deal with it. As an artist, gordon delights in the unexpected. The way glass can distort images. Look towards the bottom of sculpture, right . When youre walking. Um, they start disappearing. Oh they do the way light reflects color. You see with this one here . If i were to remove the light, there is no color. Right . Theres no color. Gordon is wired with creativity. So this is like Thomas Edison and bondage kind of thing, ok. In gordons world. 22 foot fuel tanks from military planes,, morph into giant sculptures. Really, its kind of like a sword into plowshares too. Because this fuel tank was originally made for military use. So youre taking um, something of that use and youre redefining its use, redefining its usefulness and making it into an object of beauty. Ya thats very cool. His studio is a 13 thousand foot converted tannery in napa. Godron needs a big space. Because so many of his pieces are large scale. This two thousand pound metal and glass piece is being made for a home in the oakland hills. The house fortunately is built with some steel beams. And well be tearing into the wall and welding. Much of gordons work involves art in architecture. Creating large scale pieces that are incorporated into the framework of new or existing buildings. We did the hiroshigui museum of art, in japan, we have work at the getty in los angeles, we have uh work, we just installed a very Large Installation for the bart station in san bruno. In 1997, gordon became the permanent artist in residence at artesa winery in carneros. Theres a certain simpatico between the aesthetic that i carry, that is already here existing at the archi. With the architecture. All of the art on display at artesa from dramatic sculptures. To mixed media wall hangings. W as created by gordon. I would love to be able to see my art thru other peoples eyes, but its just not possible. At any given time, gordon has a half dozen projects in the pipeline. He works with a Creative Team of designers and engineers who help him turn his rough sketches and way out ideas, into works of art. Its difficult to separate gordon from gordons creativity. Its pretty much a, a jet pack that he wears all the time and it fires him through life it seems like, you know. When we visited the studio, gordon and his crew were preparing for a showing at a napa art gallery. It includes a very personal series incorporating salvaged metal from napa and old photographs of Department Store windows designed 40 years ago by gordons father. Taking this image of a Department Store window that has long been forgotten, and so marrying that with this material kind of brings that whole story full circle. After weeks of work. The window pieces and the fuel tanks are finally ready for public review. A moment of truth for gordonit takes so much effort, and so much work to get that ten minutes of love, but, you know, it somehow its all worth it. Maybe its the wine maybe its the wine country but the artists here are inspired. We hope you enjoyed our show today, all about the arts in wine country and well see you again next time.

Tonight were bringing you the fabulous, delicious, and always entertaining miami. So let the fun begin now on first look. Miami is all about the good life from the food to the clubs. It really is the city for the people. And who could forget this beautiful beach. So tonight im taking in all the sights, sounds, and tastes of this beautiful city. Miami is built up from man made districts and islands that has the theme of the art deco landscape. And whether a visitor or a local, this city allows anyone to feel like theyre forever on vacation. So really theres no better way to see it first hand than to take a ride. Boat rides is really sort of a culture dealer for this. Were trying to get people off the beach and get them into areas that are a little bit more diverse, edgy. Were really looking to change the image of miami a little bit. Nice to meet you. Im really excited today. What are we going . Were going to have so much fun. Were going to the winnwood Arts District and see some graffiti and well stop to get some grilled cheese. Sounds good. Lets go. Welcome to winnwood, miamis outdoor art museum. Over the past few years, this district has transformed in a canvas for artists worldwide. This is nunca, hes a worldwide artist. Thats all in stencil. Its haunting. Starting here this is an all female crew called few and far. This is the wall of fame. Theyve all got their portraits on here. This is the girly wall. This is my kind of graffiti. Though many of the walls make for amazing passing views, there are some pieces that need to be paid a little more respect. Okay. This is unbelievable. When i think of street art i think of tagging and this is a work of art. It is one of the most provocative pieces in winnwood. A lot of times people will bus over saying white it out and repaint it. But this is one of the pieces that no one will touch. The artist originally from england came in and did this in 2008 and its become iconic. Dont touch the artwork the wonderful thing about this is allowing people to interact in a museum type way in the open air. All this beauty filled my soul. But my stomach, not so much. Are you ready to eat . Im ready. Lets go martha tells me its not just the art that lines the streets. The food trucks are thriving. And theres one that is ahead of the back mz cheezious. We take apple butter cinnamon and sugar and grain on multigrain bread. Im in. What you got for me . I think you might like this. Sharing is caring. Sharing is caring. All right. We start with the goat cheese. This is so good. I want to marry this sandwich. I feel ms. Cheezious with this. This smells like dessert. Smells like grandmas apple pie. One of my favorite combinations is cheese and apples. I love it. With the cinnamon, that is phenomenal. Wow. Wonderful bad about this at all. Now that were fueled up, its time to get into some trouble. Hey. This a local artist who decided five years ago that winnwood needed some color. They revamped the tired walls into some of the largest evolving street murals in the world. Today we have artist abstract working on a mural right now. Jump in and help him out. Might have to start over if i got on that mural. Luckily with spray paint, you can go over it. Here goes nothing. Can we do that . Okay. This is the most important mural of my life. Now, nobody come and paint over this or i will find you. Ive got to say with this, i think first look got a little street cred. I had so much fun. I think i did okay. I think you did a great job. Now all you need is a street name. Well, i think since youre typo, youre old school, ill be autocorrect. Perfect. When you go through winnwood, you get a glimpse of miamis past, present, and future. My fun has just started. Coming up oh, my gosh. Is he coming after us . My gosh hes coming. Theres a lot more to miami than just beaches. So im ready for an adventure. All i need is an airboat. The everglades is a Fresh Water River of grass that flows roughly one mile per day traveling to the gulf of mexico florida bay. In its entirety, the glades are over a hundred miles in length. Ali, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. What we do here at coopertown airboat rides is show you the glades. Well see a bit of wildlife. You say wildlife like its nothing. Some alligators, different birds. Youll protect me, right . Yes, maam. No problem. We will do that. All right. Lets go. The airboats a special boat designed to run on almost no water whatsoever. A half inch of water is all we need to travel. My goodness. My hair is out of control. Thats what we call an everglades hairdo. We give it at no extra charge. This bird here is considered to be a rare bird in the everglades. Hey, little friend. Come here. These birds have no love for me. But the boat, id like to find out. Do you think i could try it . All right. Lets do it. I didnt expect it to be so serene out here. It really is nature at its best. But where the heck are these gators . Your first gator. See . Oh, my gosh. Im scared. Is he going to come after us . No. He might come over and check us out out of curiosity. Oh, my gosh. Hes coming. Look. What was that noise you were making . Kind of like a baby alligator. Theyll usually check them out out of curiosity. They eat frogs, turtles, birds, snakes. Any time you get the holding thing the first thing he does is roll. If its too big, he can drown it. I never want to be part of those rolls. No. Not a death roll. When you first see these animals, it totally takes you by surprise. I dont know whether to be terrified or excited. Probably both. This opened my eyes to a world i knew nothing about. Its no surprise its one of floridas most popular destinations. Made it. One more safe trip. All fingers. I hung out by the boat for one more surprise before lunch. Oh, my gosh. Now were going to let you see what the alligator feels like. They have a membrane that goes across the eye when they go underwater. Got a pair of goggles on so they can see while under water. This feels cool. Its like a gucci purse with a heart beat. We wont do that to you. Dont listen to him. Cover your ears. Keep those ears covered. When youre dining in the everglades, gator tail is the main course with a starter of frog legs. All righty. I hear were cooking some legs back here. These are the frog legs. Obviously. Whats in there . Thats eggs, garlic, and a secret ingredient. Cant give that away. No. Then we lay them in the bread crumbs and shake it up. And repeat for the gator tail then off to the basket for some frying. There we go. So much going on here. Bread on the grill. Gator and frogs. You are a man of multitask. Yes, maam. Going to finish up your plate and ill have somebody bring it to you. All right. Thank you. Youre welcome. For the first time in my life im more intimidated by the frog than the alligator. So i think im going to start with the alligator first. Its a mixture between a fried clam and chicken. If they had a baby, it would be an alligator. Looks like popcorn chicken so its not scary here. But this straight up looks like little frog legs. Or human legs doing the jig. I dont really know what this is. Good. Little bone. Sorry. Everglades, you showed me a side of miami thats as beautiful as any beach. But also reminded me why its good to be at the top of the food chain. Later gator. Coming up one of the most romantic restaurants. This makes me a happy camper. The best seafood has to be fresh out of the water. But here in south beach, the freshest fish is found in the sky. And at juvia, seafood is served nine stories up. When people come up here, theyre blown away. Look at this view. In miami its unexpected. I cant think of a better place to show off what we have in south beach. My opinion, its the nicest venue in south florida. It is amazing. But juvia is so much more than the views. Its a culinary point of view. Everything has to speak the same language. It has to speak juvia for us. And that begins with collaborative cooking in juvias kitchen. It goes from asian to peruvian. I think bringing a different option of what seafood means. Just getting the freshest product out there we can find with a great cooked dish. Which is helmed by laro laron contino and who im cooking with today. Chef sunny o. I hear you have the best in town. What are you cooking . Were doing a causa. Yellow potato that coming from pe peru. Its turned into a mashed potato. Peppers. Theres garlic, onion. It turns into this. So can i just drink that . Thats all my favorite things. Very spicy. Then we introduce tuna thats been cooked and cooked again. This is what we call a tuna chicuon. The tuna that was cooked will add inside. Then from here we will drop it into the flour. And then the egg wash. And then it goes in the bread crumbs. With a quick fry, its time to plate. And what lunch would be complete without some finely sliced with japanese green chili infused cream. I can do it. All right. There you go. Oh, my gosh. I did it. Finished off with a bit of soy sauce and cilantro, the only thing left to do is eat. When we were making this dish, there was so much time and effort that went into it. I cannot wait to taste the flavors. Its unbelievable. I love the kick. This looks good. Wow. That is fresh. I have to say this makes me a happy camper. Ive tried almost everything on the menu. Its amazing. Probably the most romantic restaurant in miami right now. Honestly one of my favorite places. We were set up to make an experience. A restaurant has an experience all by itself. Thats why the juvia experience is soaring to new heights. Now, the only downside to miami is you cant be everywhere at once. While the food is amazing here, uptown theres a bar thats shaking things up. The people and cocktails here are as out to prove its a town of many different. My name is gabriel. My name is elad. Were here at the broken shaker. Having established a career in miami, they decided to have a spot tucked away beyond the doors of miamis historic guest house. The indian creek hotel. You almost feel like youre in a havana with key west. Theres a lot of love into every piece. Step in here and its like stepping into an oldtime hotel. It really represents that underground artistic vibe that miami still really has. It shows miami in the outdoor palm trees. No dress code. Everything has to do with the art of making cocktails. We take our drinks very seriously. And theres definitely no mistaking that. These gentlemen take cocktails to the next level. Combining classic technique. Theres no ingredient that will stop this expert duo from filling your glass. Black current collins. Amazing cocktails. And if you dont know what to order, just ask the shake makers themselves. One signature drink here is the blossom. A rum drink shaken up with egg white protector. My favorite is the cocoa puffs. Thats right. A cocktail made from kids cereal. Its one to keep your night going. Its that good. Its just the kind of place that you want to be in the neighborhood. Hang out. Have a good time. Youre among friends. You just want people to relax, enjoy a different side of miami. Well, it looks like broken shaker is one of the best things to hit south beach and definitely a hidden gem for tourists and locals alike. Cheers. Coming up thank you very much. I played in the swamp and dined along the skyline. Nothing is finished without a party. And if youre going to do it, do it right. A corner stone of the scene delano is more than just a place to rest your head. It is the place for a little r r and everything in between. After a day of lounging and dining, no better night cap than their underground lounge. Fdr. Fdr is now new subterranean cocktail club. We have local djs or internationally acclaimed artist. We stay open until 4 00 or 5 00. Ultimate night Life Experience here at fdr. Sophistication with glitz and glamour. And i cannot wait to get my groove on. You ready . Energy here hits you the second you walk in. Im definitely going to need a drink to keep up with this crowd. Ill have an fdr. Made with appleton rum and brown sugar. The 32nd president does not disappoint. This night is on its way to being pretty epic. Ill take that. Thank you very much. And this crowd has a good reason to be excited. Djnervo twins are serving up the beat. Its america. Its beautiful weather. Everybodys out there drinking, dancing. Fdr is the spot to be. At this rate, i dont think theres anything that could keep this party from going. This is miami night life at its best. There really is no better way to spend 48 hours in the beautiful city of miami. But i guess youll just have to see for yourself. See you next week.
