We interview Jason Wise about his film “Somm: Cup of Salvation,” which tells the story of winemaker Vahe Keushguerian, who smuggled ancient grapes from Iran to make the first Persian wine in over 40 years. Plus, food scientist Anwesha Sarkar explains how she built a 3D-printed human tongue to study food texture; we cook up the original Spaghetti and Meatballs; and Adam Gopnik shares what’s new with wedding food—from the delightful to the downright absurd.

Questions in this Episode:

“What is the effect of adding sugar to spicy dishes?"

"Help me brainstorm a savory hand-pie to enter into the Kentucky State Fair."
