Cabernet Sauvignon, Chianti, Malbec, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Syrah,Tempranillo, Zinfandel

These are the nine bottles of wine that were tasted last night. Seven of us got together to blind taste 1 oz. each of these red wines and determine which wine we just tasted and then rate it.  We argued with each other for two hours while going thru two rounds of each wine, ate our potluck dinner and then had each wine revealed to us with even more arguing. Six of us managed to guess one wine out of nine correctly. We learned that we have a lot more wine drinking to do yet to become proficient. Around midnight there was only myself and the host and fiancée left and we retired to the hot tub with more wine. Spent 4 hours talking, laughing and simultaneously doing left arm exercises against the tub jets. 4 hours and the f*cking left arm spasticity still had not lessened. I wish someone would go up to Dr. William M. Landaus' face and demand to know what will cure spasticity. He may believe spasticity is useful post-stroke but spasticity is what is preventing my recovery.

Spasticity After Stroke: Why Bother?

He really needs to relook at whatever research he is citing and talk to some intelligent survivors.
