For more than a decade, Michael Moyer has been cultivating his passion for premium wine production. The work started, appropriately, with exposure to the wines of Burgundy in a basic winemaking course taken while studying in Dijon , France , after graduating from the University of Puget Sound . Then six years in the hospitality industry, including experience with wines in restaurants, inspired Moyer to meet the microbiology and biochemistry requirements for admission to the Viticulture and Enology program at the University of California , Davis , where he earned the degree of Master of Science. As a graduate student, Moyer spent three years teaching general chemistry as well as wine microbiology labs. His wine background is not all classroom. He has helped create Amador county Zinfandel, Carneros and Oregon Pinot Noir, as well as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon from both Napa and Sonoma Counties , for producers such as Etude Wines and Peter Michael Winery. Before arriving in Walla Walla , Moyer worked with the viticulture lab of Oregon State University 's Department of Horticulture.
