From Specialty Coffee to Wine – Channa Galhenage’s New Journey

In today’s episode, Antoine Abou-Samra welcomes Channa Galhenage, founder of Loustic Café, Paris, France. SPECIAL GUEST BIO After having opened one of France’s first wave of specialty coffee shops in Paris and in Marseille, Channa Galhenage has sold his coffee businesses, kept the name Loustic, and is pivoting the brand into a specialty wine bar project in Paris that, hopefully should see the day (or night) in 2025. Following a sommelier course taken in 2021 with Willy Kiezer of ’Ni Bu Ni Connu’ (an excellent French reference for biodynamic wine), he is currently pestering clients in two Paris wine bars, learning the craft, and staving off the temptation to drink wine during service.
