Our office would like to welcome Mike Anderson, Viticulture Program Representative who will be available on a part-time basis to handle viticulture questions and farm calls in Napa County.  We foresee that Mike will continue working in this capacity through December 2008 and perhaps further, depending on Mike's other commitments and on the recruitment of a permanent Viticulture Farm Advisor for Napa County.

Mike has worked in the viticulture industry for approximately 25 years as a Viticulture Research Associate in the Department of Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis.  Throughout his career, Mike has specialized in vine water relations, mineral nutrition and varietals and clones.

If you would like to contact Mike please call the UCCE office at (707) 253-4221.

Upvalley and American Canyon residents can call toll free at (877) 279-3065.  If he is not available we will be happy to take a message for you.
