Radio Curious visits with Charlie Barra, the founder of Barra of Mendocino Organic Wines.
One might say that wine is the life blood of Charlie Barra, the founder of Barra of Mendocino Organic Wines. Heâs our guest on this edition of Radio Curious.  Barra was born in 1928, close to his winery, about five miles north of Ukiah, in Mendocino County, California. His parents, both immigrants from the Piedmont region of Italy, had a long history in the vineyards and grew only organic grapes. Barra continues that policy now in his vineyards and grows only certified-organic crops.  He says that for the past 67 years he never missed a harvest, claiming that pay day comes once a year, after the harvest is sold.  Charlie Barra and I visited in the kitchen of his home in Ukiah, California on November 1, 2013, and began our conversation with stories of his early memories.  Charlie Barra is the founder of Barra of Mendocino Organic Wines located in Redwood Valley, California. His website is Barraofmendocino.com.
