The beauty of Mendocino county is complimented by the unique tasting room at Barra of Mendocino. Just under 2 ½ hour drive from San Francisco is where you’ll find Proprietor, Martha Barra. I originally interviewed Martha by phone in December of 2022, but this time I made the trip in person. The tasting room is well worth the trip but the star of the show are the wines. No need for a reservation, just stop in for some Barra family hospitality.

Family wineries are the best. From family comes the care and focus to make the very best wines possible especially when your name is on the bottle. Merriam Vineyards is found on the edge of Healdsburg and Will Weese is Winemaker. I met up with Will just a few weeks ago to get his take on his winemaking style. Growing up in wine country doesn’t make it easier, it just imbeds the passion deeper within you.
