La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels' popular Wine Boot Camps -- 50 minute educational classes hosted by the wine bar's sommeliers -- can now be experienced on the go, in podcast form! Compagnie Managing Partner Caleb Ganzer and Sommelier Wissam Jaugeon have teamed up to create The Wine Boot Camp Podcast, a monthly deep dive into producers and topics the Compagnie team is obsessed with. Each episode spotlights a winemaking trailblazer from around the world or otherwise topical subject to folks in the wine industry. Each story is told through the lens of New York city's wine scene.
After a few months hiatus, Wine Boot Camp podcast returns with host Caleb Ganzer speaking with Lauren Turk of FeraZero about the challenges and opportunities when it comes to composting food scraps. After a successful trial run picking up and dropping off food scraps through Compagnie, and then a summer-long program at Supernatural Lake, Ganzer learns from Turk about why diverting food scraps to composting programs is so important to tackling climate change.
