Down Syndrome is a genetic condition that causes delays in physical and intellectual development. It occurs in one in every 691 live births. Individuals with Down Syndrome have 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. In most people with Down Syndrome, there is an extra copy of Chromosome 21 (also called trisomy 21 because there are three copies of this chromosome instead of two), which changes the body and brain’s normal development.

Down Syndrome is the most frequently occurring chromosomal disorder. It is not related to race, nationality, religion or socioeconomic status. The most important fact to know is that very little separates individuals with Down Syndrome from those without it.

On August 17th, Winemaker Clay Mauritson and Chef Charlie Palmer hosted the Second Annual Project Zin at Hotel Healdsburg. This sold-out wine event gathered some of the most sought after Zinfandels paired with decadent bites from Chef Palmer and other local Sonoma County chefs.

The event featured 21 incredible zinfandels from wineries including Carlisle, Robert Biale, Outpost, Ridge, Turley and Mauritson. Wines were paired alongside tastings such as a “BZT,” Beef, Bacon, Zinfandel Aioli and Heirloom Tomato Sliders from Charlie Palmer and Dustin Valette. Many local restaurants joined in on the fun, including Baci Café & Wine Bar who offered Hand Carved Snake River American Kobe Sliders with Anjou & Creamy Horseradish and Spoonbar who served Smoked Hanger Steak, Oxtail Bouillon, Green Onions and Sweet 100 Tomatoes.

All proceeds benefit the Down Syndrome Association, North Bay Learn more here.
