~ A note from Garo and Nancy ~
Dear Family, Friends, and Colleagues,
As we look back on the year, we’re reminded that great wine—like anything worth doing—doesn’t happen alone.
This year brought new vintages, new conversations, and more than a few spirited debates (some of which eventually became The Argument). Through it all, your support has meant everything to us. Every bottle opened, every event attended, every kind word shared—it’s what keeps Adruni Vineyards moving forward.
We’re endlessly grateful to those who have followed along from the beginning, welcomed us into their homes and celebrations, and believed in what we’re building. You’ve shown up in ways both big and small, and we don’t take a single one for granted.
As the year winds down and glasses are refilled, we raise ours to you. Thank you for being part of our story, for sharing in the moments (and the wine), and for making this year one worth remembering.
We hope you have had a warm, joyful holiday season. Cheers to many more good arguments, great bottles, and shared tables in the year ahead.
With love and blessings in 2026,
Garo & Nancy

Pairing of the Month — Potato Chip Cookies
This recipe combines two of Garo and Nancy’s favorite things: chocolate chip cookies and potato chips.
Both of these also happen to pair fabulously with our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Coincidence? We think not.
More importantly, this recipe comes from our dear friend, Jackie Koglin, who shared that the recipe originally came from her mother:
“My mom is the original potato chip cookie maker in our family. The recipe originated in the 1970s and that’s when she started making these cookies. Many of my happy memories about my mom are around her baking for our family, friends, and co-workers. Her name is Delice Serritella, and her name means delight, joy, pleasure.”
We can’t think of a better way to kick off 2026 than with joy in the form of cookies!
Delice’s Potato Chip Cookies
Yield: About 4 Dozen Cookies
Ingredients:
1 lb butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup crushed plain salted potato chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large electric mixer, cream the butter. Add sugar, vanilla, flour and potato chips. Mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Cool on cookie rack or parchment paper.
