I feel like there should be more interesting people in the world, so I'm trying to meet them.
I like to run and bike and rock climb, outdoorsy stuff in general. Being outdoors is an amazing escape from this whole life deal. Some of the most beautiful moments are the quiet ones you just stumble into when there isn't the city to get in the way.
I like good wine and beer and Manhattans and crossword puzzles and rock n roll and I like to cook... sharing good wine and good food with people you care about is one of the most important things to me.
Going out is fun, but having some one special to curl up with on the couch with a movie is almost more important to me. Picking up some one at the grocery store isn't as hard as enjoying 3 hours of nothing on a Sunday afternoon and loving the fact that you're simply together.

I am an athletic, wanna be cook, and under cover dork

After working for a winery through college, I've decided to give the wine industry a go of things in real life. You don't run into all that many embittered, hate my life, wine industry folks.
Interesting to say the least. Good parts and bad parts like every job, but it has done a good job of slowing me down and enjoy better things than I used to.
Outside of that I'm cooking new things as often as I can. Wishing I got to the beach more. Devouring books as quickly as possible, wine books, cook books, fiction.

Making coffee, and dinner.
Finding hole in the wall places to eat.
Seems pretentious to fill this all the way up, but I'm certainly open to suggestions!

The Big Lebowski! Blazing Saddles, O Brother Where Art Thou, Into The Wild, Intolerable Cruelty, Fargo, Robin Williams Live On Broadway, Louis Ck, The Never Ending Story, What Dreams May Come, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lord of the Rings, I could go on.

the grateful dead, miles davis, the doors, kings of leon, Emmylou Harris, Manu Chao, Wax Tailor, Foo Fighters, Buena Vista Social Club, Cut Chemist, Kid Koala, Lucinda Williams, Ray Charles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Holly, Buddy Guy, Led Zeppelin, Herb Alpert Tijuana Brass, The Killers, Nirvana, John Prine, Johnny Cash....soooo many more

As far as tv goes, I love cooking and travel shows. No Reservations and Good Eats are my two favorites I would have to say. I just discovered Mad Men and watched 2 seasons in a row before I could stop myself. House and bad reality tv are my guilty pleasures... I'm not proud.

I have been reading a lot of Russian authors lately love it. Always the obligatory wine and spirits related reading, but there are much worse things to need to read for your job. I like a lot of different types of literature...good books I spose. Tom Robbins is darn good, Hunter S Thompson, T. S. elliot, The pest by Chamus, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, and a book on the psychology of wine were the last three I've read.

Coffee
Good wine and beer
Crossword puzzles
Running
A good book to read and tunes to rock out to
amazing, simultaneously bliss and coma inducing, make sure im not drooling while i eat it, food.

What kind of life is going to make me happy. There are so many paths to take and choices to make it can be overwhelming sometimes. Life is interesting.

Cooking dinner for friends and relaxing after the week with a beer in the shower.

You like finding new hole in the wall places to eat, exploring weird little shops, dont mind spending a Saturday watching cooking shows and forgetting about everything else.
You can hold a converstion...please.
I'm still wrapping my head around this whole online dating thing. I'm interested in meeting new people first and foremost, where it goes from there is a mystery im excited to figure out.
