Brooks Hill Winery

Brooks Hill Winery, the little winery up the hill, is a dream come true for Mike and Karen Hatzell. The winery has brought them the opportunity to pursue activities that they have long enjoyed. Mike’s initial love of the land and farming developed in his youth when he would spend summers with his aunt and uncle, Barbara and Lewis Bandy, on their farm in Irvington, Kentucky. This love has stayed with him throughout his life’s journey.   While stationed in France during his army enlistment, Mike developed a taste for wine and a deep interest in the wine making process.
