What's New at Forgotten Fire Winery
We would like to introduce you to our newest addition at the winery Jake Wagner! Jake grew up in Porterfield and went to High school in Marinette. His interest in wine making sparked a few years out of school where he tried home brewing for... the first time. An unsuccessful attempt at strawberry wine.
After doing 4 years in the Navy as a Gunners mate, he got a job on a local construction crew. That crew was involved in the construction of Forgotten Fire. His interest in winemaking sparked again, but with some help from Joe, he was successful in making a good batch of gewürztraminer. Jake lives in Marinette with his wife Kate and daughter Zoey.
Jake will be involved in many aspects of the winery from making wine, serving delicious samples, and most important, keeping Joe out of trouble. Stop out and help us welcome Jake to our wine family.
