Finally a Way to Recycle Your Corks

After searching high and low and talking with many winemakers, we finally have a way to recycle your corks. There is a new, ground-breaking organization that is leading the cork recycling movement. corkreharvest.org is helping to collect and recycle some of the 13 billion natural corks that are produced each year.

But recycling is only part of what this terrific organization does. Their greater goal is to collect cork without increasing its carbon footprint and develop carbon neutral processes for manufacturing and shipping of the up-cycled cork. They also offer educational presentations about the negative environmental impact of screw-caps and synthetic closures. And most importantly, corkharvest.org is a champion for the cork forests and for the people, communities, wild animals and plants that depend on those forests for their survival. In a nutshell, they are good guys.

To do our part, LRV is going to make it easy and financially rewarding to recycle your corks. All you have to do is to bring them in to us and we’ll take care of the rest. Bring in 10 corks and we will give you 10% off your next bottle of wine through the end of September. No synthetic or glass closures please. It's for a great cause and you will feel good about doing your part to reduce our carbon footprint.

The Story of Little Raven Vineyards (3,4,7)

People ask us, “Why Vineyards?” They understand that our name ‘Little Raven’ is because we’re located on Little Raven Street, which is named after the unsung Arapaho Chief. But ‘Vineyards?’ We’re not actually a Vineyard, we’re a retail wine store selling wine in Denver, Colorado. However, we have explored the smaller vineyards throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, New Zealand, Australia, and Africa in order to discover extraordinary, small-production wines not usually found anywhere else. Sure, we have some of the more familiar labels in our shop, but we prefer some of the more artisan wines, as do most of our customers. So you see, since we are supplied by many vineyards, it seemed, well, sort of poetic to us that we highlight that rare fact through our name, Little Raven Vineyards.

Some also ask about our logo mark, which is a single black Raven feather. This, too, comes from Little Raven, the Arapaho noble. Unlike other chiefs of his day who wore hundreds of feathers in their headdresses, Little Raven wore only a single black Raven feather for ceremonial occasions. His tribe loved him even more for his simple, honest and down-to-earth attitudes.

We Will Pay For Your Parking

For those of you who drive to LRV, here are some tips on parking. If you can’t find a space on Little Raven Street, try turning in front of the store onto Bassett Way. Across from McLoughlin’s there are a number of 30 minute free parking spots. If those are full, please pull into the pay lot at the southeast corner of the property. When you come into the store, we will give you a parking token to use when you exit the lot so there is no charge for you to park. And by the way, we are more than happy to help you carry your purchases to the car!
