Little Raven awards you for cooking with wine

Little Raven Vineyards, the distinctive wine shop at 1590 Little Raven Street, wants to reward you for coming up with culinary creations. Just uncork your mind and create a recipe involving wine -- and you could win a free bottle of the grape juice. The top two submissions will also be featured on the store's website.

So start thinking, and then start cooking: Submissions should be e-mailed to myturn@littleravenvineyards.com by the end of Saturday, March 28.

And really, it shouldn't be that tough. Store owner Peter Klann says his favorite submission thus far was very uncomplicated: "It only had three steps. 1) Get a wine glass. 2) Get wine. And 3) Drink."

The Little Raven website also includes an archaic word game (explained there), and the store gives prizes if you break the code. I stared blankly at the site for about fifteen minutes, at which point I finally spotted a quote by W. C. Fields:

"I cook with wine; sometimes I even put it in the food."
