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.
