This week, we will be talking with a few guests from a Texas-based winery that is putting the Lonestar state on the map when it comes to winemaking and offers Texans a unique tourism opportunity. Agustina Vin is located in Fredericksburg, Texas, just under two hours west of Austin. The 60-acre winery was planted in 2017 with over 10 different varieties that are well suited for the Texas climate. Today, the winery offers wine tastings, tours, and an online wine store with over 20 varieties that have been awarded by several organizations like the Texas International Wine Competition and the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

This week, we will be talking about an intriguing technology in the agriculture and food science space, cultured meat aka real meat, but made in a lab. Alex Shirazi is a startup advisor, author, and podcast host who has a deep understanding of the cell-cultured meat industry. Alex has advised many startup businesses, some of which are seeking to develop new cultured meat technologies. He has also built The Cultured Meat Symposium which is aimed at bringing together leaders in the cell-cultured meat world. Alex also co-wrote a book titled “Where do hotdogs come from?” which is a kid's book about cellular agriculture and the future of meat production. In our interview, Alex and I will chat about his background, the processes of making cultured meats, if this technology is a replacement for normal meat or if it’s just another choice for consumers. We’ll also dive deep into how taste and texture are extremely important when developing these meats and how the meat proteins and fats are created. I went into this episode knowing very little about this technology and learn so much from Alex and I think you will too.
