Well, this was bound to happen eventually. Especially when one procrastinates publishing her wine recommendations for a few months.

The BC Liquor Store's website is leading me to believe they no longer have this particular wine. Not even a later vintage. It just isn't showing up in their database and I know for a fact that I purchased this bottle from the Columbia Square location.

The good news? They do seem to have other similar Bleasdale blends for you to try, both under $20.

And there's nothing saying the 2014 won't be available at your local cold beer & wine or private liquor store. Heck, the Bleasdale winery's website is offering to sell it to you for $16 (although I have no idea what shipping costs might be).

This is a tasty Australian blend that showcases some of their best red varietals, and based on this bottle, I'd say their other reds would be equally easy to drink.
