near their little gypsy home. to get the things you want, you have to prioritize. and we didn't know if it was going to work, and it really has. it's been a really fun thing to do. there's a lot more still to come in wine country, up next, we're snooping around in a unique home wine cellar. la catina de stephano it's like i'm transported into a different world and later... come in here thirty, forty feet and it all looks the same. testing your sense of direction in wine country.

when it comes to collecting wine...some people store their best bottles in a rack, refrigerator or better yet a wine cellar. but we met a landscape contractor who's combined his love of mother nature and wine to create a storage solution all his own. hi, i'm steve rudy welcome to my el cerrito cellar. let me show you around. most wine cellars do the job -- storing wine and such, but when steve built his cellar... it's a little secret hideout. he didn't know his project would turn into a backyard retreat. before we started it was basically dirt, weeds and basically behind the garage area where we threw junk. steve created an above ground "cave." my favorite part about the cellar is probably the entry. it's probably what i put most of my time into designing

and trying to create a sense of oldness. i tried to find a door that looked old and what i wanted, but couldn't find it, so i ended up just making it myself. when you walk up you'll see the travertine paving, which is outside the cave and also inside the cave. the columns are made out of terra- cotta flue titles which are used in chimneys. the structure of the cave is basically concrete. steve's cave is now part of the landscape. you see banana plants, morning glory is basically on the top of it growing everywhere, a mexican fan palm, some cannas, some various ferns, there's a little creepy ground cover called bacopa, there's a trumpet plant uh called datura . inside, a change of scenery. i've collected about four hundred bottles so far. i have one special bottle that i bought in italy. it's a 97 burnello from the montalcino area. italy had a lot to do

with the design of the wine cellar. and i bought this special bottle to bring back and celebrate the fifth anniversary of the cellar opening. a unique handcrafted cellar. thanks for coming. hope you enjoyed the tour. come back anytime. what a great home cellar...you could say it's a must- have. which leads us to our in wine country pop quiz question, which of course, is a must-do. our question today, when it comes to winemaking, what is must? is it: a - a mixture of grape juice, skins and pulp b - an additive winemakers use in the barrel or c - the leftover yeast extracted from sparkling wine don't go away, we'll give you the must-know answer after the break. also ahead... other parts of the world too make sparkling wines. just because it's bubbly doesn't mean it comes from

champagne. and... from my studio i can look out into this beautiful vineyard and it just helps me create. wine country is this potter's muse. whee wheeeeeeeeeeeee! wheeeeeeeeeeee! whee whee wheeeeeeeeeeee-he-he-heeeeee! whee whee wheeeeeeeeeeee! pure adrenaline. whee whee wheeeeeeeeeeee! everything you love about geico, now mobile. download the new geico app today. whee wheeeeeeeeeeee-he-he-heeeeee!

a new air freshener so smart, that it detects and overcomes unpleasant odors. odor detect works on more than a thousand odors, to keep your world at its brightest. new odor detect. something in the air wick. welcome back, we're in wine country and i'm mary babbitt. ok, time to give it up, the answer to our pop quiz. our question today , when it comes to winemaking, what is must? is it: a - a mixture of grape juice, skins and pulp b - an additive winemakers use in the barrel

or c - the leftover yeast extracted from sparkling wine. well you might think an additive is a must in the winemaking process, but the actual answer here is a -- must is a mixture of grape juice, skins and pulp. must is the name used by winemakers for the unfermented liquid consisting of grape juice, stem fragements, grape skins, seeds and pulp. the mixture comes out of the crusher- destemmer, at the beginning of the winemaking process. the term is used until the end of fermentation and that's when the must becomes wine. you know we've gotta say it -- consider this your pop quiz that was a must must is something you learn about when studying the basics of winemaking. we thought we'd extend the lesson plan today. but we want to keep it fun so we're going to look at the basics of bubbly. from champagne to sparkling, sweet to dry, vintage to non-vintage, master sommelier evan goldstein has the essentials of bubbles 101.

all champagne is sparkling wine or bubbly. not all sparkling wine or bubbly is champagne. by law champagne must come from.well champagne. champagne is actually a place. it's northeastern france about 90 miles outside of paris everything else with bubbles? it's sparkling wine. sparkling wine can be extraordinary and it comes from different places in the world. in the united states -- you'll find sparkling wine. "cava" is from spain cava is both the name of the wine as well as the name of the region which is located in catalunya not far from barcelona they are extraordinary represent great value for the money in italy, it's asti spumanti . coming from the town of asti in the piedmont region and also prosecco. prosecco is again the name of

both the area and the grape that it's made from the style of bubbly also matters. "brut" means the wine has less sugar and is dry. "demi sec" means the wine is a little sweeter. some sparkling wines and champagnes have a vintage date on the label. but most do not. the lion's share of all sparkling wine and champagnes that are made in the world are what they call a non- vintage or increasingly popular terminology multi- vintage wine. wines from older vintages are blended in to make a consistent wine year in and year out. as a general rule it's going to be more expensive to find a vintage wines because simply they are rarer they are not made quite as often. however it doesn't necessarily mean that you as a wine drinker are going to like it better or that in fact this wine is actually better than the non-vintage wine. what it simply means is there is something unique to the year it was harvested. and that's the essentials of bubbly. artists often get inspiration

from their surroundings. for sonoma valley potter lynn mahon, the source of creativity he draws upon is the land and vineyards surrounding his wine country studio. come along as we visit lynn's outdoor gallery and see the potter himself in action. my studio is set in the middle of thirty acres of vineyards. i'm on the border of napa and sonoma counties. so, my studio is in napa county. my mailbox is in sonoma county. lynn mahon's the artist in residence at latour vineyards. while his location among the vines may seem picture perfect, the art he's making here is, by his own account, anything but. there's a tendency with ceramic artists that they want to make perfect vessels. they want everything. they want things to match up. they want to be recognized for the same things. where i really like to undo things. i like to, to make them so you can't. i mean

you'll recognize that it's mine because it looks so crazy. and it's so chaotic. i, i add chaos to the perfect pot. a quick peek around lynn's studio confirms it -- this guy's art is free form, not unlike nature around it. and occasionally, downright dinged up. i'll make a perfect vase and then i un-make it by messing it up. so tell me about this piece? dad's sixtieth birthday. and it's a fountain. there will be a tube of water that will shoot down into this bowl here and it'll drain out the floor. it's a self portrait -- can you see the likeness? this is the likeness right here. thank you very much. sure. and yours? i don't want to clean mine. i might loose my mojo or something.

lynn's art may be chaotic and messy, but his pottery skills are professional and polished. which is more than i can say for my own. now you can come back out and kind of open it up. do that. just pull? yeah just kind of pull it open. this feels so great! isn't it cool. yeah. got a little problem here houston. what happened mary? my finger. i got my finger in the way. i was trying to copy you and my fingers just are useless. my pot may be a lost cause, but lynn's almost finished a flawless piece. which means, of course, it's time for his signature touch. what are you doing, lynn? i'm messing it up. i'm undoing it mary. why? because this is what makes it fun. a little character. yeah. it's

not from costco. watching lynn at work, it's clear his vineyard home's a perfect fit for his imperfect art. all these things come to me when i'm out here. i don't have to think of what to draw. it just flows to me. just being here. you can feel the vibe of the land. it's awesome. ah! done! you won't want to miss what's next in wine country, an amazing adventure, finding your way out of a maze. it's a dead end. how do you know? oh. some people turn around and they're just completely lost. they don't know where they're at. where getting lost is all part of the fun. click on inwinecountry .com to see behind the scenes photos, watch videos, download podcasts and sign up for our

we're always on the lookout for something new and different to do in wine country. well we found an activity that the whole family can enjoy, but it might keep your kids and you busy for a long time. take a real

adventure in wine country, where getting lost is all part of the fun. woo hoo we turn here. it's a circle. it's a big ol circle! that way. that way it's south. these kids may be finding a million ways through this maze, but there's only one way out. they can run laps around this thing i think all day long and still not be tired. farmer john gandolfo is happy to oblige. once a year, he opens his "g and m farms corn maze" east of san francisco -- in the livermore valley wine country -- to hoards of crazed kids and their parents. you're surrounded by eight, ten foot stalks of corn. so you lose your sense of direction very easily. they're having a field day exploring six acres of corn. it's a dead end

this maze is only one of hundreds that open across the country each year. this one looks like a quarter, thanks to a corn maze expert who carves out the design months ahead of time. he sets this field into grids by using the rows that we plant on and then he flags it out. gets it all marked. and then he comes in and actually kills the corn with round up when it's about two inches tall. so it's already done basically when this corn is two, three inches out of the ground. they even install a bridge... which later becomes a big hit with the kids. this is cool! wow! how'd they get under there? for those who get hopelessly turned around, help is on hand. dan marciel is a partner in the farm who also plays "corn cop." they're completely lost. they don't know where they're at or what they're doing sometimes. there is a kernel of

truth to that, but actually most folks don't need assistance. you see, the maze is peppered with hints. how old does a boy have to be to become a boy scout? six! turn left! answer just one trivia question correctly -- on history, pop culture, the bible or another topic -- and get sent off in the right direction. it'll get you from one end to the other if you read the questions and follow the directions. we're going to take the wrong way -- turn left! hut two, three, four. hut two, three, four. having explored the field far and wide, the kids finally approach the end. it's been taking them about thirty to forty-five minutes. yeah yeah yeah! an adventure getting lost in wine country, where finding the way out is all the fun.

non-profit organization has linked educators, scientists with literacy. do happy kids learn better and what can we learn from them? goldie, thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> you've had such a diverse career as an actress. how did you find education advocacy? tell me how you got into this. >> actually, i got into it just because of a love for children. it really has to do with that sort of thing in my life which has been children's charities and taking care of kids and loving my own and so on and so forth, and i just couldn't bear the fact that i was looking at kids going into classrooms, opening up fire, killing people.

i started seeing things and symptoms in our society that were very, very painful. and instead of giving to certain things, i figured, what can i do to bring happiness, more joy, more stability to children? and that's how this was created, through giving children some tools, if you will, to understand that, yes, they can choose happiness. yes, they can manage their emotions. yes, they are in the driver's seat. >> also there's all this noise. you know, on computers, on line, information coming at them, so you have written a lot about ten mindful minutes. tell me about the book. you say if a parent or an educator just has ten minutes with a child to focus on mindfulness, this is a game changer. >> if you do that each day, what happens with the brain, because what we do in the program is we teach children about their brains, and they learn that when they get quiet and they focus and they breathe and relax, which we do three times a day in

the classroom, that it actually changes their neurobiology, and the brain actually gets attuned to that. so my book was written for caregiveres, parents and teachers because they want to know how they can manage their child better. the book is how do we manage our lives better in order to attune to our lives, our inner world, we won't be able to attune to our children. your book is published by scholastic. tell us about your hopes for outcomes. >> outcomes are for children to actually create a sense of emotional stability. also for them to be able to get through school in a way to have a more optimistic experience. to be able to know when they're stressed, to self-recognize because that will ultimately help their health care throughout their lifetime. also it will help reduce anger.

i think leaders and building new leadership with these kind of tools is vitally important, so if i were to look at my dream, my outcome, is that we would be socially and emotionally an intelligent nation with leaders that actually can get along. >> what have you learned in terms of negotiating the demands of running a non-profit? you must be dealing with a whole different set of, you know, constituents and groups from, you know, as opposed to your acting career. >> well, basically, it's business building. you know, a foundation and you go out and do the best thing that you can do for children or for parents or for caregivers moving into hospital settings now, it's a big business. it's a lot to run. it can be overwhelming sometimes, particularly -- this book "ten mindful minutes" went to the best-seller list. i was shocked.

everybody wants to sort of know how we can slow down, how we can manage ourselves, how we can not be so angry. and the book just kind of did this. the same with the curriculum. now we're looking at teachers saying, this is what we need to do. this is how we need to manage our kids. with on us as an organization, it is like trying to juggle eight different things. a huge shift. this is so important, goldie, and i'm so happy that you wrote this book. let me shift gears for a minute. years ago you once told me you attribute your successful career on the fact that you focus on what you want to focus on. i don't have to do a movie every year. i'm going to do what i want to do and live my life the way i want. it's been a few years since you made a film. do you miss it? what are you looking at now? >> do i miss filmmaking? i have to tell you the truth. no. one of the reasons, i've been doing it for a long time, and i always thought when you get to a certain age, we should change

what we do. what are our passions, right? that's what happened here. these are ten years of the most j joyful, incredible, stimulating times of my life, but i am going back to work. i am actually doing a pilot for hbo, and that pilot is called "the viagra diaries," and it's a limited series we're doing. i've taken a right-hand turn, or left, however you want to look at it, and i'm going back, you know, into what i have done. >> and you also -- i know that you were approached to do broadway as well, right? >> yes. yeah, numerous times. >> is that in the cards? >> it could be. >> at some point, maybe. >> i'm trained as a singer and dancer, and it's crazy i didn't really use that in my career. but i have to tell you, working with children and working with these foundation and see where we are today and the need that is so great. because we're in the u.k. now, we're in canada and we're in the u.s. and we just moved to
