Charlie Barra is the 83-year-old proprietor of Barra of Mendocino, a winery producing organic grapes in Northern California’s Redwood Valley. He purchased the land in 1954, and planted new vines the next year. As a California winemaker for over 60 years, he’d be a legend just for longevity if nothing else. But Barra has also taught other winemakers, people who went on to found classic wineries of their own. And, he grows his grapes organically.
