- Date posted

- Description
- Host David Yetman and historian Bill Beezley, along with Argentine expert María José Figuerero, team up to travel around the cool arid climates of central Chile to vineyards that have made Chilean wines famous. The trip begins in Santiago’s great central market to take a closer look at some of the local cuisine that pairs so well with the wine and the role wines play in Chile’s traditional family life. From there, the search for wines takes the travelers to local vineyards as owners demonstrate traditional and innovative methods of cultivating grapes. In some cases, chicken, sheep, llamas and alpacas roam through the vineyard providing the land with a natural fertilization. Beezley and Yetman complete their wine quest at the celebrated Viña Montes, a winery designed by a Chilean architect and laid out according to feng shui principles.

Then travel by helicopter to gain the “big picture” of the fault as it forms massive mountain ranges and deep valleys.

- Loreto Marine Park was established in 1996 to preserve the delicate ecosystems in the Sea of Cortez. In this episode host David Yetman, a group of international researchers and scientists from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum explore Catalina Island, a biological reserve within the park.
This island is home to terrestrial plants and animals that have been so physically isolated that they have altered genetically and become new species. Here, there is a rattlesnake species with no functioning rattle, a columnar cactus sporting a trunk almost ten feet around and a barrel cactus reaches a height of over ten feet. The park faces huge challenges, including over fishing, overpopulation, and the need to educate the expanding human population about the distinct natural values of the Gulf and Baja California.
