In 1955 Charlie purchased Redwood Valley Vineyards, 175 acres of vineyard located at the headwaters of the Russian River, nestled at the base of rolling foothills. Over the next 65 years, the Barra family continued to purchase prime real estate in the Mendocino County appellation and now farms over 350 acres of organic vineyards.

Parducci SIX DECADES OF MAKING WINE IN MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA With an Introduction by John J. Golden Interviews Conducted by Carole Hicke in 1990 Copyright @ 1992 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and John A. Parducci dated April 4, 1992. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

I especially appreciated our many lively debates on the issues of the day including the water supply for ag and the Ukiah Valley. Even though we didn’t always agree, I needed the education he gave me. I am very grateful to have had him in my professional life as an advisor, and it was an honor to have him as a friend.” An avid farmer since high school, Barra worked in vineyards in Redwood Valley beginning in 1945. He loved to tell the story of getting permission from the high school principal to only go to school half a day because he was going to lease his neighbor’s ranch and earn some money. “After the harvest, it turned out I made more money than the principal,” chuckled Bar- ra many times over the succeeding years. He was paid $10,000, three times what the principal made. In 1955 Charlie planted 150 acres of prime varietal wine grapes at the home ranch on East Road. Among his noteworthy accomplishments is being the first to use a sprinkler system for frost protection in vineyards—an idea he got from reading a National Geographic story Charles L. Barra on the topic. December 12, 1926 - June 29, 2019 Barra constructed water reservoirs for storing winter water runoff to use for frost protection and irrigation. Community Tribute to He pioneered the use of grape gondolas for in-field har- vesting, making the use of heavy wooden boxes in the Charlie Barra, Mendocino’s field obsolete.

  • Pinotfile Vol 11 Issue 6
    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 11, Issue 6 July 10, 2017 Report from the Front Lines: 2017 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival I made my yearly trip to the Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival, May 19-21, 2017, sponsored by the Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association. This year, the event was celebrating twenty years, and was sold out as always. I always look forward to the first presentation of the Technical Conference, “Annual State of Pinot Noir,” prepared by Glenn McGourty, the Winegrowing and Plant Science Advisor for the University of California Cooperative Extension of Mendocino and Lake County. Glenn was traveling, so the presentation was given by Bernaddette Byrne, Executive Director of the Mendocino WineGrowers, Inc.. This talk is always focused on Pinot Noir in Mendocino County and comparison to other Pinot Noir growing regions in California. I have reconfigured all but one slide for easy reading. 2016 Crop Summary Tons Crushed Tons Crushed Percent Percent Change 2016 2015 Change vs 5-Year Average North Coast 511,970 420,399 22% increase 1% Central Coast 509,728 370,987 37% increase 4% Northern Interior 1,031,577 857,779 20% increase 16% Southern 1,922,764 2,033,858 5% decrease 0% Interior California Pinot Noir Harvest 2014-2016 2014 2015 2016 245,751 tons 184,235 tons 253,994 tons Top California Pinot Noir Counties 2016 County Acreage Tons Produced Average Price Per Ton Sonoma 12,527 25,862 $3,680 Monterey 9,720 40,630 $1,896 Santa Barbara/SLO 5,272/2,051 15,925 $3,014 Napa 2,838 5,346 $2,779 Mendocino 2,720 4,000 $2,920 Total Coastal 35,128 99,040 $1,896-$3,680 Central Valley Approx.
