Malibu Wine Classic

Ah, if only I had known this was an option. I signed up to run a 10K in Malibu on April 1, not knowing that in the same location on the same day, the 2006 Malibu Wine Classic will be taking place. The event takes place on the tented grounds of The Sunset Restaurant and includes an afternoon tasting session and an evening tasting session. Last year, over 1000 attendees enjoyed wines from more than 50 wineries and this year, over 75 wineries and 25 restaurants are expected to show up. This non-profit event will benefit Childhelp USA which works to help in the treatment and prevention of child abuse. Advance tickets are $75 per session or $125 for both. Tickets are $100 at the door.
