WHO
"Living wine from living soil" is the motto at Porter-Bass, a Demeter-certified biodynamic estate on Westside Road, nine miles from the Pacific between two redwood-covered ridges. Dirck and Sue Bass revived the century-old vineyard from 1980; their son Luke makes the wine today. A benchmark site — Littorai and others buy the fruit — farmed with three-quarters of the land left wild.
