On Sunday we attended the 8th annual Harvest and Crush event at Malibu Family Wines, at Malibu of course.  It is a beautiful winery in the Malibu mountains.  Although the place was super difficult to find in the winding mountain roads, once you enter it it’s almost like a dreamscape (with a bit “horsie smell”, if you get my drift, har-har) that totally makes you forget that you are not that far away from LA.  The food was great (I think I had 5 raw Ahi Tuna Tacos, you can see it in the gallery), but I didn’t drink too much wine since I had to drive back.  We did, however, go for 2 servings of icecream.

It’s a charity event, and people were bidding on different prices.  We didn’t really bid on anything except buying a $20 cupcake for a chance to win a pair of $1,500 diamond earrings.  We were so so close too!  Jeannie picked one of the last 2 Hello-Kitty cupcakes, and right after she picked it, they found the winner to be the very last Hello-Kitty one!  Oh well, for charity I guess.

Speaking of charity, seriously, I think we were the only Asians there.  I think Jeannie said it best: “Asians don’t do charities.”

The Santa Ana winds were going crazy that day, which made our skin super dry and Lorelai extra grumpy.  We left just a bit early, but it was still a fun relaxing day.
