JanKris Sparkling Almond

I recently mentioned to the Mister that we need to drink our sparkling almond, a statement which immediately evoked disbelief, "We don't have a bottle of sparkling almond," and then curiosity, "Why do we have a bottle of sparkling almond?"

We have a bottle of sparkling almond because we bought a case of unusual sparkling wines while we were in Colorado, and sparkling almond was something that we had not tried before. We have now. If you want to replicate the experience and JanKris Sparkling Almond is not locally available, (on-line I found only four purveyors, 2 in Colorado, 1 in Delaware and one somewhere else. It is not listed on the winery's current web site,) take a fine, pale, inexpensive sparkling wine and add a dash of amaretto (clear amaretto if such a thing exists). There is nothing wrong with a slightly sweet sparkling wine that smells like almond flavoring, and I imagine it is probably a much better accompaniant for wedding cake or many brunch items than finer champagnes, but pork and lentils are a bit much for it.
