Treasure Hunter: Pardon My French

"Metal Dectectorist"

Looking for treasure with a metal detector has a long history.

But, with the onslaught of technology, the art form fell out of style. Recent shows like the one shown here, "The Detectorists," (BTW, Andy and I agree that this is possibly the best show ever!), youtube channels (including the Nugget Noggin from Charlotte) and a push by celebrities (Drew Barrymore gives detectors away on her show) have brought the the treasure hunt back into focus across all demographics.

*** Such a Deal ***

WineListAwards called the 2017 Viña Pomal
"The Rioja of the Year"

A single varietal Tempranillo characterised by traditional winemaking techniques: after destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place.
The wine is macerated for 2 weeks, giving it a smooth, structure with great fruit.

Finally, it spends 12 months in American oak barrels and at least 6 months in bottle. "Viña Pomal is one of Spain's most exceptional and traditional wines, which has remained faithful to the classic style of authentic Rioja." 

If you shop @MetroWines, you know Viña Pomal has been a staple on our shelves.
But the price, through the various distributors has gone up and down.
Good News: It's Down Again!
