Chasing Waterfalls in Marinette County
In this episode, the #DWcrew takes on Marinette County – the Waterfall Capital of Wisconsin! The area’s 14 waterfalls create a stunning environment for hiking, camping, exploring and more. Eric gets in touch with his wild side at Wildman Adventure Resort, where he tackles zip-lining, paint balling and a heart-pounding whitewater rafting trip down the Menominee River before heading to Mickey-Lu Bar-B-Q to try one of their famous burgers. Meanwhile, Mariah dives into Marinette County’s rich history with stops at the Historical Logging Museum and a local antique shop before sampling some of the area’s specialty beer and wine at The Railhouse Restaurant & Brew Pub and Forgotten Fire Winery. Finally, Mariah goes chasing some (frozen) waterfalls along Marinette County’s snowmobile trails.
Small Towns: Marinette Historical Museum
The history of Marinette as we know it was built on the backs of folks who signed up for work in the logging industry.
ForgottenFireWinery
An interview with Forgotten Fire Winery owner Lindsay Callow discussing their proposed expansion plans for 2013.
We chose the name Forgotten Fire Winery because we wanted to really have a tie to our local area. We knew that we were going to build the winery in the Town of Peshtigo and so we spent a lot of time looking for a name that would make us part of the community and so we chose Forgotten Fire after the Peshtigo Fire of 1871. Because it occurred on the same day as the Chicago Fire it's referred to as the Forgotten Fire.
When we built our original building in 2011 we started out with just our tasting room and our original production area. We realized very quickly in our first few months that we were going to outgrow that. So, in the summer of 2012 we added an additional 3000 sq. ft. of production area which we're standing in right now and quickly realized that we were going to outgrow that as well, so in the winter of 2013, we're going to be expanding the tasting room, and then in the spring and summer of 2013 we'll be adding additional cold storage area for the finished wine to be put in and then doing some more landscaping outside, building an outdoor patio area with a stage for live entertainment and then as part of that regrading and assessing the damage to the vines and to the fruit trees, and working on that to help as part of the overall landscaping project.
We do want to have the outdoor landscaping and patio area done and have our first band shortly after Memorial Day weekend in the summer of 2013 and we will probably close the outdoor area in the end of September, beginning of October, depending again on the Wisconsin weather for the fall season.
