Cheap Spanish Red for the Recessionista wine drinker

2007 Borsao Red Wine is not bad for a $6.00 - 8.00 bottle of wine. Fairly one dimensional, but doesn't do anything wrong. Probably a good party wine for after you've opened the good bottles and everyone has a buzz. 75% Garnacha and 25% Tempranillo. Give it a try, you can do a lot worse for a lot more.

Or associated with one?

Not necessarily a problem, but you seem to be pushing Spanish wines and have pictures and detailed info to back up your recommendations.

  To answer your question, I'm just a consumer sharing some of my recent experiences with relatively inexpensive wines. Many Spanish wines fall into that category and are a good value. Due to the fact that my job salary was cut by 33% five months ago I've decreased my spending on wines which I enjoy, not to mention other areas of my consumption. I just can't afford to spend $35.00, for example, on a bottle of Orin Swift's The Prisioner, so I search out less expensive, better value wines. Some are quite good and some not so good. A couple of the better choices I've experienced came from weekly e-mail notifications from a California retailer I've ordered from in the past.
  
  As far as detailed information, this can easily be found in a web search. For fun I like to compare my impressions of wines with others that can be found on various wine blogs, Cellartracker, etc. Images come from a simple Google image search.
