SUMMARY:Solidarity & Spice: A Rare Wine Pairing Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a six-course wine pairing dinner hosted by Anish Bhatnagar & Dini Rao\, to launch the “No More Lasts” PWSA | USA Equity Project. \nWhen: Saturday\, April 25\, 2026 | 6 – 9 PM\nWhere: Rasika West End | Washington\, DC\nLEARN MORE AND PURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nWe’ll take you on an exquisite journey through India’s rich culinary styles from chaat style street bites to tawa tender fish\, tandoor kebabs and a range of dal\, bhartas\, masalas\, homemade breads and festive accompaniments at the renowned DC locale\, Rasika\, where presidents celebrate birthdays and ambassadors dine. Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema wrote\, “Nobody glorifies the cooking of India like Rasika\,” and “While the restaurant scene has gained from more Indian competitors of late\, no chef has surpassed Vikram Sunderam’s finesse or flavors\,” as he put Rasika on his hall of fame list.  It is no wonder Chef Sunderam was awarded the 2013 James Beard award for best chef in the Mid-Atlantic region. \nThe meal will be enhanced as Wine Curator Dini Rao guides you through this six-course tasting menu with wines chosen from Anish Bhatnagar’s collection to create the pairings of a lifetime. In Dini’s nearly 30 years of hosting wine events including a dinner at Julia Child’s house and a wine tasting for British royalty\, never before has a dinner spoken more to her epicurean heart. \nA vegetarian or dairy free option is available or contact dinivrao@gmail.com to discuss other food restrictions. \nMore About the “No More Lasts” PWSA | USA Equity Project \nPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS)\, it is a rare genetic condition that has no cure. It is also one where early diagnosis\, coordinated care\, and lifelong supports dramatically shape health and quality-of-life outcomes. Yet these benefits are not always realized. Children and adults from marginalized communities experience delayed diagnosis\, reduced access to specialized PWS care\, underrepresentation in research and registries\, and poorer downstream outcomes. \nAt PWSA USA we are creating an Equity Initiative to make sure that research developments are useful to our whole population and that more people can access the tools currently available. We want to make sure there are no more lasts – no more last diagnosed\, no more last treated. This “No More Lasts” initiative aims to close the gap in racial\, ethnic\, religious and other disparities for those affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome by accelerating diagnoses\, access to evidence-based care\, and inclusion in research—so no community is left last. \nCome join us by becoming a founding supporter of this important initiative.
