Ian Thorsen-McCarthy
from Beyond Organic Wine Hosted by Beyond Organic Wine
Ian Thorsen-McCarthy is my guest for this episode, and he has made wine on both coasts… first in California and now in New York. His project is Artemis Botanical, and you can probably tell from the name that he doesn’t just make wine. Vermouth and now cider are part of his repertoire, and he is equally thoughtful about them all. Ian is deeply rooted in natural winemaking. So much so that if you tested him on how to add sulfur to wine, he might fail. In this conversation we talk about why he decided to move his winemaking to New York, why he decided to work with grapes that were not organically grown for the first time and the importance of this to actually making a difference with his winemaking. Ian asked me some great questions too, and this conversation ranged into new territory that I think is very helpful in grappling with some complex issues. I’m really grateful Ian was willing to explore these things with me, and I can’t wait to see what this new chapter of his wine life will bring. https://www.artemisbotanical.com/ Sponsor: https://www.centralaswine.com/ This is a public episode.
