Garnacha is an important everyday grape, and I never go to a party without a bottle of something along these lines. Calatayud is probably my favorite source! p.s. I've included my blog links to my favorite everyday Garnacha (Las Rocas) and the higher end Bodegas Atecca, a wonderful old vine. Feel free to delete the p.s., I am not trying to pimp myself, haha! http://tiny.cc/k0ZrG http://tiny.cc/NYQ4d Hi Tim- I love this post, I’ve read it a couple times and am in full agreement with your assessment.

And BTW, surprised that you didn't mention Tres Picos or Las Rocas -- a few dollars more than cheap, but still not expensive.

The Garnacha de Fuego is exceptional for a $7.99 bottle of wine and the Vina Borgia is certainly acceptable for $5.99 a bottle. Keep in mind QPR. Neither of these wines is going to change your life, but for the money, they are not bad at all. I’ll second the comments on both wines.

As you know, we're big fans of value-priced Spanish wines. Last year, we bought a bottle of Vina Borgia as a Halloween gift - it was supposed to funny and we were all surprised when it was good! We went out and bought a case to give to our non-wine-snob friends as gifts at the holidays. Vina Borgia is the low end of Borsao. Borsao is the high end. In between, Borsao produces their medium, Tres Picos. We have a case of that right now too. I'd also recommend Red Guitar, from the Navarra region, if you're looking for another decent $5.99 wine. It's right there with the Borgia. Mark, from Cutting Edge Distributors, recommended we try the Garnacha de Fuego 2006 (it JUST arrived on store shelves a week or so ago) for WBW. He was right - we were thrilled with it. We'll have to get together for a glass some evening. Cheers! Michelle Tim – I love this post! As you know, we’re big fans of value-priced Spanish wines.
