Almond Creek Almond Sparkling Wine | Wino Wednesday

via 


Happy Wino Wednesday!  Today we're doing something a little different.  We have Jenn co-hosting with us and we're also participating in her What's Hap-"Pinning" link up :)

 I was so excited when I was at Trader Joes and found this almond sparkling wine because way back when, Lindsay had written about an almond champagne that she loves.  I couldn't find that champagne anywhere so when I came across this one (for $6 nonetheless) I had to try it!


This sparking wine was SO good; it had such a unique flavor.  The best way I can describe it, is a bubbly amaretto - but not as strong or sweet and very light and refreshing, the almond flavor isn't overpowering at all. 

I always have my husband open champagnes for me - I'm scared of the popping cork!

This would be the perfect drink for a girl's party.  It's so different than any other of the regular bubbly's or moscatos!  I will definitely be buying this and keeping it on hand for any time I feel for anything refreshing and a little on the sweet side.


Have you ever tried this before?  What did you think?


And because one can never have enough wine talk, here are some fun pins I've found!

I've always had the Wilsons Creek Almond Champagne, but it's much pricier than this one. I will definitely be on the hunt at Trader Joe's for this bottle of deliciousness :-D

Sounds very interesting!! I prefer a brute champs but maybe I'll dry this one some time. My parents who are fancy wine folks, they had a bottle of the Reserve Cabernet from Trader Joe's and it's actually pretty good. I checked out that rose slideshow/article too. I haven't tried any of those, but I have been loving the french roses. I'll send you some pictures. :-) Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!

I have to find this!! I tried a almond champagne in Napa and loved it - we brought a bottle home but I haven't had any since!

So mad at myself that all of a sudden it's wino Wednesday - and this wino missed the boat! Something about amaretto and I do not agree, but I'm glad you enjoyed this new spin on a classic glass of bubbly! Next month, girl! ;)

Ok so I'm not a huge champagne person and I found an almond sparkling wine in Dallas once and was IN LOVE! It was amazing! I really need to find another one so I'll keep my eye out for this one. There's a Trader Joe's right next to me!
