Our Winemakers, Mike Loykasek
and Randall Watkins
Hauck Winemaker Mike Loykasek
was named Sonoma County Winemaker
of the Year in 2007.


Hauck Winemaker Randall Watkins
was named Sonoma County Winemaker
of the Year in 2005.
We knew we needed help to make great wines, so we hired Mike Loykasek and Randall Watkins. We are proud to say that both have been named Sonoma County Winemaker of the Year (Mike in 2007 and Randall in 2005).

Mike brings years of winemaking experience from several California appellations and is known as the Cowboy -- mostly because of his bold, no-holds-barred winemaking style, especially with Zin and Cab.
