Sommelier Jenn Forge | Born and raised in Portland, Maine, Jenn is a veteran of the city’s restaurant scene, gaining experience in every front of the house position over the last 17 years. A local favorite bartender, Jenn’s love of wine began while working at Munjoy Hill’s highly regarded Lolita and at ViA VECCHiA, before she joined the opening team at Twelve in 2022. Jenn has a degree in hospitality management, and she is a certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers, which recently accepted her application to participate in the Advanced Sommelier Course. She has also completed the WSET Advanced Level 3 course and feels that exploring both paths has been beneficial to her wine education. “First and foremost, I’m grateful to work in a restaurant where I’m surrounded by so many talented people — it’s nothing short of inspiring. I want the wine list at Twelve to be both approachable and impressive to cater to Portland’s diverse demographic. I am committed to serving every guest a delicious bottle (or glass) of wine, regardless of price point, with unparalleled hospitality."
Chef Colin Wyatt | After twelve years working in New York’s DANIEL and Eleven Madison Park, where he led the team awarded the accolade of “The World’s Best Restaurant” in 2017, Chef Wyatt recently returned to Maine to open the doors of Twelve. A veteran Portland chef, the natural beauty, vibrant culture, and passion of Maine’s growers and creatives ultimately called him back. “Maine has always been a place I wanted to return to. As beautiful as it is, I think it’s the people that attract everyone to the state. This is why I came back and why I wanted to start this restaurant. Twelve is a way for us to be a part of this community and hopefully, add our own voice to it.”
