SHELLS: Combine flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in beaten egg. Gradually stir in wine, mixing well. Shape dough into a ball, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Turn

Place a cannoli form, lengthwise, down the center of each oval and roll dough around form. Moisten seam with water to seal. Pour oil to a depth of 3" into a Dutch oven and heat to 350 degrees.
