family mottos
Well, it's been a process for my own little family to come up with our own family motto too. When Dave and I were first married we had all kinds of different ideas. But after much deliberation and thought those ideas have evolved into something we all agree on (even the kids). And it is super simple. We purposely chose very elementary words because we want those words to be the seeds from which great things will come (we have big visions).
So what we came up with for our motto is "Learn, Work, Serve, Respect." One little blog post can't really do justice to explain the background behind why we chose each word, but believe me, this is quite thought-out. There are so many different levels and underlying messages behind each word, which we tend to talk about a bunch for FHE. (Dave even wants to change our awards to be just these four words but I'm not quite convinced yet since I just got done getting our original awards all dolled up and laminated.)
The only thing I felt was missing in our motto was somehow incorporating "LOVE" into the mix, because really, love is sort of the underlying theme through all of it. In deciding out how to display our motto in our home (I'm pretty choosy on what things we put up on our walls which I explained here), I tried to figure out how I could draw those words into a heart, or something that would show that love was part of the very fiber of the motto.
Well, my talented sister-in-law Kara came up with the answer for that one with her whiz-bang skills at adobe illustrator and I fell in love:(See how LOVE is incorporated in there? Thank you Kara!!)
So, after I had the basic model it took like six months to figure out how to hang it up and display it.
Wait, let me say that again, it took six months (although I don't need to remind Dave of that because I about drove him batty with all my deliberating). But I must emphasize this because, well, since it was such a huge pain let's just sit and oooo and ahhhhh over it for a minute and have a moment of silence.
There we go.
Now I feel much better.
I know it looks super simple, which is what we wanted, but sometimes super simple takes time to figure out.
This hangs above our fireplace smack-dab in the middle of where we live life every day, and I'm so thankful that it's there, reminding us of what we are...and what we want to become.
One of the things I grasped onto at our Motherhood Retreat a couple weeks ago was how important it is to create unity in a family. It led me to think of what ways we have unity in our home...things like family dinners, Family Home Evening, "Fasting Club" (more on that later) and other things to make us feel like we are together. It made me glad we have a family motto because I know it helps us feel united in a cause. One of the girls at the retreat has a little saying they stand up and say together in their family when they get together with actions and all. So, inspired by her idea (and much to Max's chagrin), I came home and taught the kids how to stand up and say the motto together before we start the "family business" of Family Home Evening each week (complete with our own actions we came up with together). I must say it's pretty darn cute. I'll have to record it before Max's eye-rolls become more evident.
So, there you go...that's why I love family mottos.

Shawni, I spotted your motto in the background of a picture on your mom's blog earlier this week, and thought it was neat how the word LOVE was incorporated into the design.

Good On Ya Shawni. We also have a "family Mantra". Well, we have two main mantras. One is "OCC" which stands for Options, Choices, Consequences. Whenever I say OCC to the five great kiddos, they know how to weigh things out. Occasionally it is a reality check word as well. For example if someone is acting inappropriately then I will say something like, "Uh Oh....OCC" then they know they are on the edge of a negative consequence. My kiddos have learned that consequences can be good too. Our other mantra is "I Can". Robinson's never say can't unless they have expired all other options. I read about "Family Mantras" in your book. I think that's when I started ours.

Shawni, I seriously love all of your ideas and think you are amazing! Since I have been so inspired by your blog, I wanted to share a fun family tradition that we do...the blue plate! I bought a random large blue plate at TJ Max and when someone in our family does something that we want to recognize, they get their dinner served on the blue plate! Sometimes a child gets the blue plate for a little thing and sometimes it is a big thing. I try to look for things to let my husband have the blue plate once in a while too. We even made up a cheesy little song (blue plate, blue plate, someone got the blue plate and it is _____)to sing when the plate comes out. It is a super fun tradition and I love that it makes us celebrate each others successes in a fun way!

I LOVE your family motto and the design is beautiful!!
I showed it to my hubby and asked, "what is our family motto?" and he said, "How about, put that thing back where it can from or so help me!"
Ha, Ha, I am still laughing and I think I will make a plaque with that on it and hang it in the playroom! :)

That's beautiful. I love the colors. We also have a family motto that I've been wanting to frame for sometime. I just need Kara's skills to get it done for me. Our motto is "POWER"...Polite, Obedient, Workers, Enthusiastic & Righteous. We also do a little "Jones Power Cheer" that my kids love now, but someday I'm sure there will be eye rolling. Thanks for sharing. You've inspired me to blog about my motto {maybe I'll get around to it}. In the meantime, I hope you don't mind that my most recent post has a link to your blog. I just love it so much I couldn't help but share!

I love this and have already put on my FHE schedule with a lesson on unity a plan to make a family motto. BUT, I love the Fasting Club. Tell me more!! We struggle at our house with fasting and would love to make it more fun. Thanks for all the inspiring ideas. After 20 years of mothering, I still need all the great motivation I can get. And with little ones still at home, I need to keep reteaching things, but keep it fresh for the big kids. Thanks

Just another reason I love your blog. Brilliant. We've been working on one for our family but haven't got it nailed down yet.
Now, I can't wait to see the family chant thing you learned at the retreat! Please post.

I like it! The design for your motto is awesome. It's been fun reading the other comments to hear about what other families use for their mottos.
We came up with our own motto a few years ago: Choose the Right and Hold on Tight. The CTR part doesn't need much explanation, but the Hold on Tight part works on many levels for us. 1) Hold tightly to the iron rod of the gospel 2) Hold on tight to each other, staying unified and close as a family and 3) Hold on tight while we're on this roller coaster ride! I happen to love that it all rhymes.

Yours looks great and is a wonderful motto. When I read about it in the book we started thinking about ours. Currently, the family slogan is "Flush and Wash" which Saydi thought was so funny she told me I should go for it. We aim low around here!

I love your blog! I am the mother of 4 boys, and I found your blog after reading "A Mother's Book of Secret's" (which I LOVE) I love the family motto idea, and we are seriously deliberating over what we should have as ours. We made a family flag one time that said "Live Laugh Love." But, my husband and I are contemplating all of our hopes and goals, etc. for an official family motto. I just wanted to tell you thank-you!!

You don't know me, but I know your neighbor, Ashby, and one of your friend's sisters. Anyway, growing up our family motto was "Our family is our biggest fan club." It was said when we needed reminders to be kind, build each other up or support each other. Thanks for your example of loving your role as mother and taking it so seriously.

I didn't get much of a chance to talk to you at the retreat, but I'm so glad you were there to share your wisdom as a mother and be inspired with all of us! I love checking in on your blog b/c your insights often bring out the best in me.
Your family motto is fantastic! And the accompanying visual is a perfect way to make it a salient and unifying goal for your family. Coming up with a family motto always felt like such a final ultimatum that I've just let it simmer in the back of my brain for years, thinking I needed more time, more perspective, to decide upon such an important, guiding mantra. But when Vanessa mentioned at the retreat that her family has had several mottos, it liberated me from the notion of coming up with The Perfect Motto, and now I'm so excited to come up with the motto that's right for our family now...and to refine and revise it as the years march on!

Shawni--I am a new reader and I've fallen in love with your thoughts about family and how to improve and focus family life. In fact, I love this post about family mottos so much that I want to post something on my blog to send readers your way. Are you okay with that? I really am so impressed with the idea of family mottos. I don't have children of my own yet but I think it is never too early to start.

I really really really sorta love that family motto. I like how it is displayed and talked about. Our family is just 3 1/2 years old and we have been trying to come up with something. I like that LOVE is incorporated into it. I gotta get to work on one of ours!

I ♥ your Motto!!! The colors are so happy! So smart the way the design of it is done.....I found your blog....bacause when my son called home on Sunday from his mission in North Carolina for Mother's Day...he asked me to look at your Mormon.org and there you mentioned your blog......I love your outlook and I love the kind of Mother that you are.....you are pretty amazing and a great role model even to someone who doesn't know you or visa versa....thank you for your example..

Thank you for your great example and ideas! We decided to create a family motto that would be understandable to our two young children (3years and 18 months). We used simple words and pictures symbols. I wrote about it on my blog and linked to this post on your blog. Thanks for teaching me!

I love your simple motto! We've simplified ours too--it's the ingredients for our CONNELLY FAMILY STEW, with pictures: LETTUCE, TURNIP, PEAS, SQUASH, THYME.
It symbolizes:
LETTUCE love one another.
TURNIP on time, " to serve
PEAS within, " with others, " on earth
SQUASH gossip, " grudges, " grumblings, " negative thoughts
THYME for family & friends, " for wellness, " for talents, " for God.
We've hung this on our entry wall. The kids also say this every day with a "Prayer Pot Stew" we wrote. As we say our prayer before meals, we throw in each ingredient (photo here): http://theconnellychronicles.blogspot.com/search/label/Prayer%20Pot%20Stew
I love your blog-very inspiring. Cheers.

MIAMI — A season of destiny, as it had been billed in South Bend, was no match for a newly-minted dynasty from Tuscaloosa.
The return to glory for Notre Dame, which hasn't won a national championship since 1988, will have to wait after Alabama destroyed the Fighting Irish to claim its third national championship in four years Monday night at Sun Life Stadium.
Alabama (13-1), scored 28 first-half points en route to a 42-14 win in the BCS National Championship game. So much for the most-anticipated match-up of the BCS era.
For Alabama it was a coronation as the Crimson Tide claimed the storied program's 15th national championship.
For Notre Dame it was another BCS bowl game collapse. Including appearances in the 2000 and 2006 Fiesta Bowls and the 2007 Sugar Bowl, the Irish are 0-4 in BCS bowl games and have been outscored, 158-57.
Notre Dame didn't even get on the board until 4:08 was left in the third quarter on a 2-yard scramble by quarterback Everett Golson, making it 35-7. At that point the score barely provoked a polite applause.
Whatever luck the Irish used to get into this game after an unlikely 12-0 start, was obviously used up shortly after kickoff.
A raucous Irish crowd that seemed to outnumber Alabama's contingent was quieted on the opening drive and really didn't have much cause to cheer the rest of the game.
But they did have reason to boo.
Trailing 7-0, the Irish were forced to punt on their opening drive. Alabama returner Christion Jones fumbled the punt and Notre Dame's Zeke Motta recovered it. However, the officials ruled that a Notre Dame player had touched Jones first and called a penalty on the Irish.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was livid, screaming at the officials on the field, but the call remained.
Television replays show the ball was already loose. Instead of having the ball inside Alabama's 15 yard-line with a chance to tie the game, Alabama had the ball at their 39-yard line and would march down the field to take a 14-0 lead.
Notre Dame never recovered and Alabama was never seriously challenged after that. Exactly what couldn't happen if the Irish were to have a chance had happened.
One play into the second quarter and Alabama led 21-0. It got so bad early for Notre Dame that Kelly decided to decided to go for it on fourth and 5 from midfield. There was 13:30 left in the second quarter at that point. That decision also failed.
Alabama was just clearly better than Notre Dame, adding another national title notch for the SEC conference, which now boasts the past seven national champions. It wasn't even close and prompted chants of "SEC," from the Bama fans with two minutes remaining in the game. Many of the Irish fans, however weren't around to hear it, having already seen enough.
Notre Dame lost because a defense that at one point in the season went 17 consecutive quarters without allowing a touchdown, gave up three in the first 15:04 Monday night.
They lost because a defense that gave up just two rushing touchdowns in its previous 12 games, yielded three in the first half alone.
They lost because a defense that held nine teams to fewer than 300 total yards this year was gashed for 309 in just two quarters.
They lost because AJ McCarron is a more mature, more experienced quarterback than freshman Everett Golson who didn't necessarily play poorly for the Irish, but just couldn't make a big play when he needed it.
They lost because they were overmatched at every position on the field, yes, even middle linebacker.
McCarron, whose performance Monday night chisels his face into 'Bama's football Mount Rushmore, had all day to do virtually anything he wanted in the pocket. Bama running backs Eddie Lacy and TJ Yeldon both rushed for more than 100 yards.
It's never a good sign when your safety leads your team in tackles with 16 as Motta did for Notre Dame.
Notre Dame's glory day will have to wait. This night, and this season belongs to Alabama.

KOKOMO, Ind. —
After 63 years of marriage, a Kokomo couple passed away of natural causes Friday within minutes of each other after praying God would allow them to die together.
The couple said they didn't want to live without each other after months of suffering from deteriorating health.
Funeral services for Earle Howard, 86, and Lou Nell Howard, 82, were held Tuesday at First Church of the Nazarene, where a crowd gathered to commemorate the couple and hear what Pastor David Leeder described as "one of the greatest love stories of our time."
Earle and Lou Nell married in Kokomo on July 11, 1949. Earle served in the Army during World War II and eventually became the Kokomo Police Chief. He was elected twice as Howard County Sheriff, and served as a state representative from 1986 to 1994.
Leeder said throughout their entire marriage, Earle and Lou Nell demonstrated a devotion to each other that he's rarely seen in other couples. Leeder serves as senior pastor at First Church of the Nazarene, where the Howard's attended for years.
"There was no doubt that Earle Howard loved his wife with a passion, and Lou Nell absolutely adored Earle," he said. "To see one without the other, it just seemed like they weren't quite complete."
"They were the most elegant couple I have ever known," he continued. "They were always pristinely turned out for church, always with smiles on their faces, and always giving words of appreciation and encouragement."
Even in their old age, Leeder said they constantly expressed their love for each other.
"In the last months, it was just holding hands, warm smiles, and words of kindness," he said.
However, Leeder said the couple's health rapidly deteriorated over the last year. Lou Nell had been diagnosed with dementia, and Earle suffered from a serious heart condition.
Last month, Earle decided to go off dialysis. Doctors gave him three weeks to live. Lou Nell's health was so bad she was set to move into a nursing home on Friday.
So last Wednesday, Leeder decided to pay a visit to the couple, who were under hospice care at their apartment at North Woods Village. He read scripture, and offered what would be the couple's final communion service.
During that time, Earle shared he was ready to die, but he had one concern — leaving Lou Nell alone.
"He said, 'I don't know how she'll manage, and I don't want to leave her. I don't know what to do.'"
So Leeder suggested praying God would allow Earle to pass away at the same time as his wife.
"He said, 'Pastor, how perfect that would be.'"
The next day — Valentine's Day — the couple's only daughter, Julie, decided to spend the evening with her parents.
"Their final night was truly a love story," she said.
Earle said Thursday night he'd like a strawberry milkshake to share with Lou Nell, so Julie went and picked one up. Throughout the evening, they simply talked, watched TV and finally went to bed.
On Friday morning, Julie walked into the bedroom to wake up her parents. Lou Nell was planning on leaving that day for the nursing home.
But when she entered the bedroom, Julie said she had to stand in the doorway in amazement. Lou Nell was laying in the bed on her left side, and Earle lay on his right.
"Their heads where touching, almost as if they were in the shape of a heart," she said "They looked so content."
Julie woke up Earle, who got up and dressed, but Lou Nell wouldn't wake up. She was in some kind of comatose state.
Earle was dressed by that time, but said he didn't feel well and sat down in a chair. Moments later, he died.
Julie, who works as a nurse, walked back into the bedroom and saw her mother take her last breath.
The couple passed away within just minutes, just as Earle had prayed.
"I can just hear my dad saying, 'Honey, hurry up, Jesus is waiting for us,'" Julie said. "My mom wouldn't have lived long without my dad, and God knew that. Dad didn't want to leave my mom, and God knew that as well."
Leeder agreed he believed it was a divine plan that led to Earle and Lou Nell passing at the same time.
"I believe God has been so kind, gracious and good to answer the prayers of a man who was troubled about leaving the one he was devoted to for over 63 years," he said.
Howard County Sheriff Steve Rogers spoke Tuesday at the funeral, and said Earle was "one of the most dedicated public servants ever in this community." But the motivation for his dedication was Lou Nell and Julie, Rogers said.
"Often a man like Earle is thought to be so driven by his profession that he ignores his family," he said. "But Earle showed us we should be public servants because of our families — because of your family. He did what he did because of his family."
Julie said losing both her parents at the same time was tough to handle, but she said she's rejoicing that their prayers were answered.
"I don't see it as their last night together, but the beginning of their life in heaven in God's eternal love," she said. "For sixty-three-and-a-half years, they were together on earth. Now, they're together in eternity."

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - For the three people that actually read this, the Line King needed to update his bowl projections.
With Missouri losing to Syracuse (what happened to the "$EC is the best" theory?), it looks like only eight teams will actually qualify for a bowl game.
That leaves Shreveport, LA, and Birmingham, AL, scrabbling for fill-ins, usually Sun Belt and MAC teams. While that may be a good deal for those two conferences, it raises the question: Why do Shreveport and Birmingham even have bowl games?
Aren't bowl games supposed to be a reward for a good season? And please note, a good season nowadays includes beating less than half of your conference opponents and one lower-tier program (preferably a bad lower-tier program).
LSU (-12.5) at Arkansas 2:30 p.m. ET
Finally and thankfully, the season comes to a none-too-quick end for the Hogs. Actually, this season ended last spring. Although historically Arkansas has been known to tip over the applecart now and then. Maybe not this Friday, but wow laying 12.5 is scary – do it.
Georgia Tech (+14) at Georgia noon ET
A classic, classic opportunity for a letdown for the Dawgs, who are already in the $EC Ego Championship game. Tech could actually finish the season 6-7 and still go to a bowl, lose and finish 6-8 (see above). My goodness, take the Jackets.
Kentucky at Tennessee (-13) 12:21 p.m. ET
If there ever was a game were the free-flow of Bourbon was encouraged, this would be it. Both teams are so woefully inept, the Line King has offered to hold the Bourbon Barrel until either is worthy of keeping it. Taking Big Orange and laying 13 points is a dangerous thought, but so are bright orange pants.
Auburn at Alabama (-32) 3:30 p.m. ET
Bammer takes on its second FBS program in two weeks. Barn fans remind themselves THEY won the National Championship two seasons ago … the Line King has pointed out several times why they have tanked but has been ordered not to mention it again. My gosh, laying 32 is dangerous.
Florida (+8) at Florida State 3:30 p.m. ET
FSU has been complaining they aren't in consideration for the mythical national championship game. One only has to peruse their schedule to answer the question of why. The only powder puff missing is Barn. Are you kidding, take the 8 points.
Vanderbilt (-11.5) at Wake Forest 3:30 p.m. ET
Brainiac Bowl. Vandy has the slight advantage in SAT scores, but the Deacons have God on their side, and it's never wise to go against God on the road, but in this case let's roll the dice and lay the 11.5.
Missouri at Johnny Football (-22) 7 p.m. ET
For eight seasons these two teams wanted to face each other at the seasons end – in the Big 8 Line-Their-Pockets Game. Well they get their chance, only no trophy. The Line King never bets against Johnny Football, but laying 22 is scary.
Miss State (+1) at Mississippi 7 p.m. ET
It's the last chance for the Black Bears to go to Shreveport. Rumor has it the Independence Bowl executives will be in town … as game day officials. Ole Miss State has stumbled through this season, winning the games they should and getting thumped on games that matter, but +1? Are you kidding me?
This game doesn't qualify as a "matters" game, unless you are a Black Bear fan hoping to gas up the car and head to Shreveport – that ain't scary, that's just sad.
South Carolina at Clemson 7 p.m. ET
Talk about scary, SoCar is getting 4 points. Everyone knows the Line King is no $EC homer, but the ACC might be worse than the Sun Belt this year, so how can SoCar be the underdog? Seems like a no-brainer.

Trained as a sculptor, David Yurman approaches the design of a piece of jewelry from every angle. "It's about the whole piece," he says. "How it feels in your hand, how it looks on the back as well as the front." He combines shape and form to create designs with volume and dimension—wearable sculpture. "Form is form," he explains, "whether it hangs on a wall, goes on a pedestal, goes on a wrist, or goes on a neck. Learning how to balance a little sculpture on a stand is really no different from learning how to balance a stone on the end of a bracelet."
The Cable Wrap Collection highlights David Yurman's strength as an innovator, creating designs that bring metals and gemstones together in unique ways. Experimenting with shape, symmetry and color, the center stones in this collection are brilliantly colored, dramatic in scale, and unconventional in shape. This collection creatively redefines how a gemstone is set. Instead of using conventional prongs or a bezel to hold the stone in place, it is elegantly wrapped with strands of cable and diamonds.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (5/7/13) – Dig Into Reading is the theme of this year's Summer Reading Program. The fun begins with a kick-off event on Thursday, June 6 at Lost River Cave from 10:00 a.m. until noon.
"We love that we're able to partner with Lost River Cave for this event. It is such a local treasure that connects perfectly with the summer's theme," said assistant director Ashley Fowlkes. "Kids of all ages will love exploring their new outdoor classroom, the butterfly garden, the nature center, and other areas. And the ones who register for the library's Summer Reading Program that day will get an extra bonus - a free pass to visit the cave on their next visit with a paying adult."
The Summer Reading Program will feature almost two full months of special presentations in June and July, weekly activities at all locations, and incentive prizes for those who love to read. Those who complete the program will win great prizes including free books and t-shirts, vouchers for Hot Rods games, coupons for sweet treats and passes to Kentucky attractions.
Summer Reading is not just for kids; adults can join the fun, too. In keeping with the "dig into" theme, various presentations and workshops will be offered. Events include a workshop on landscaping, canning, and digging out of debt. Other adult events include author Wes Berry discussing his new book The Kentucky Barbecue Book and Dr. Steven Bowman discussing the Dead Sea Scrolls.
All events are free and supplies provided, but registration is required for some of the classes. For additional details, visit www.warrenpl.org, call 781-4882, or see our insert in the June 2 issue of the Daily News.

HOUSTON -- Jim Deshaies, a popular member of the Astros' television broadcast team for more than a decade, has interviewed for a similar position with the Cubs.
Deshaies interviewed last week with the Cubs to replace Bob Brenly, who left Cubs television on WGN to join the D-backs' broadcast team.
"I was up there last week to discuss the job," Deshaies said. "I had a couple of good meetings."
Deshaies and television play-by-play voice Bill Brown are both expected to have contracts renewed for next year, when the Astros' games move to CSN Houston, a new regional sports network the Astros share with the Rockets.
The Astros are looking for a new radio broadcast team following the retirement of Milo Hamilton and departure of Brett Dolan and Dave Raymond, who didn't have their contracts renewed.
According to Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Dan Plesac told WGN on Friday that he's withdrawing from consideration for the Cubs TV analyst job and will remain at MLB Network. Doug Glanville also is reportedly out of the mix. The former big league outfielder is reportedly close to an extension with ESPN.

[Daytime swordfishing is the hottest fishery in South Florida, and no one is better at it than Bill Dobbelaer of Lighthouse Point. It's not for everyone, but if this specialized fishing appeals to you, follow these five suggestions and you'll be well on your way to success.]
1. Drop Carefully
"In most fishing, the sport is in the fight, but here the trick is in presenting the baits correctly," says Bill Dobbelaer, general manager of Global Fish Mounts (www.globalfishmounts.com), in Pompano Beach, Florida. Daytime swordfishing off Fort Lauderdale takes place in the Gulf Stream in 1,500 to 1,800 feet of water over seamounts. You have to know where your baits are at all times to keep from hanging them up. Dobbelaer uses a 150-foot wind-on leader with a 10- to 12-pound stick lead at the upper end of the leader, just below the Dacron-to-mono splice. When deploying baits, he heads north, down-current, while the angler slowly lets out line.
He makes a three-step drop, letting out a third of the line at a time, taking up slack in between. The leader must remain stretched out behind the boat, where it won't tangle with the main line. Baits are rigged to swim on tandem in-line hooks. The more easily the rig moves through the water, the less it's going to tangle on itself.
After the second pause to take up slack, the angler drops all the way to the bottom. When the lead hits the ocean floor, he yells "bottom" and begins retrieving line as Dobbelaer turns the boat 180 degrees to head south, into the current. The angler continues retrieving line as Dobbelaer powers into the current, keeping a close eye on the angle of the line as it leaves the rod tip.
When the line is perpendicular to the surface, the angler drops again until it hits bottom, then reels up a few feet and he's fishing. Dobbelaer bumps the boat along, keeping the line vertical while the angler drops every so often to find bottom. This keeps the bait in the strike zone and out of the rocks. The weight hangs on a 30-foot dropper, with a short section of breakaway line just above it. If you hang up on the rocks, you want it to be the lead; if the hook hangs up, you lose the lead, the wind-on and a lot of expensive braided line.
Dobbelaer uses 65- and 80-pound-test, solid-core braided line. "We tried heavier braid," he says, "but it offers too much resistance." The thinner diameter of lighter braids makes it easier to find bottom in strong current, yet provides enough muscle to fight large fish.

This wine is no longer available.
Straw yellow in color, this chardonnay has fresh tropical aromas of pineapple, guava, honeysuckle and shaved coconut. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine has bright flavors of citrus, white flowers and light oak balanced with nice acidity and a long, graceful finish. This well-structured chardonnay pairs well with buttery sautéed scallops or creamy chicken dishes.
Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2011 year began with above average rainfall in Southern San Luis Obispo County. Though we were spared the late spring frost that affected other areas, fruit set was reduced by wet spring conditions and yields were about 30% below average. One of the coolest summers on record resulted in long hang time and grapes with high natural acidity. The resulting wines balance refreshing acidity with concentrated flavors due to the low yields.

Questions & Answers

Independence Of The Seas moored at Cobh, Cork, Ireland. Most cruise ships dock at the Port of Cork's Cobh (pronounced 'Cove') cruise terminal. Cork is a quick 25 minute train journey from Cobh. Occasionally ships dock at the Ringaskiddy deep water berth, on the other side of Cork harbor from Cobh.
Titanic Experience (Cobh)
When your cruise ship docks at Cobh, you will be following in the steps of the Titanic, which called at Cobh (or as it was then called Queenstown) on its ill-fated voyage of 1912. The Titanic Experience, located in the original offices of The White Star Line, invites you to imagine being one of the 123 passengers who joined the liner in Queenstown. Next to the museum stands the Tregan Craft Center, an ideal place to pick up a souvenir of Ireland.
University College Cork
Start your visit to the University College Cork by popping into UCC's Visitor Center to collect a leaflet or audio guide. This will detail the many things to see in UCC including the Glucksman Gallery (which hosts an exciting collection of modern art), the Honan Chapel (inspired by Irish Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s), the Ogham Stones (burial stones from prehistory inscribed with an early pictorial form of the Irish language), and the Crawford Observatory (with telescopes dating from 1880).
English Market
The English Market is so called because it was founded in 1788 by the city's then Protestant council. The bustling market sells a whole range of local and distinctive produce, including buttered eggs and the Cork delicacy? tripe and drisheen (or 'Packet and Tripe'). To try this dish for yourself, call in at one of the nearby cafes - it's a favorite on the menu.
St. Anne's Church
If you fancy your hand at campanology, you can ring the famous 18th century Shandon Bells at St Anne's Church. Also check out the slightly suspect mechanism of the church's clock, the 'Four Faced Liar', so called because each side of the tower would show a different time!
Blarney Castle
Blarney Castle was built by the powerful MacCarthy clan around the year 1446. Tradition has it that Robert the Bruce of Scotland sent the Blarney stone (a piece of the Scottish 'stone of destiny' used in the crowning of monarchs) to the castle to help secure his brother Edward as King of Ireland. Later during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I the then ruler of Blarney castle, Dermot McCarthy, was ordered to hand the castle over to the Queen. Dermot delayed proceedings with a whole series of obtuse yet plausible excuses. So came the meaning of blarney as 'gift of the gab'. But how the tradition of kissing the Blarney stone to bestow this power of eloquence came to be nobody knows. Today visitors can climb the narrow corridors of the castle and adopt a contorted position to kiss the fabled stone. Blarney Castle is about 6 miles north west of Cork and is a popular coach excursion.

Pours a pitch black with a reddish tint near the bottem of the glass with a slight brown head,aroma is of burnt fruit and bitter chocolate.Very intense flavors in this one burnt fruit and bitter sweet chocolate with some nice earthiness in the finish.I really like this stout very intense flavors a nice one to savor in my opinion.

Poured pitch black with a huge bronze head. Soem carbonation. Nose was big on roasted malts, some black licorice. Taste was to the sweet side. Again, black licorice was dominant. Nice malts. Very smooth, light bodied...a little too light bodied i would have to say. Lingering sweetness...a touch of raisin off the finish. Alcohol warmth. As far as a stout goes, i was looking for a little more body and fullness. Drinkable but not where i might want a stout to be.

3.95/5 rDev +0.5%
Serving date: 2009-02-01. Served in snifter.
Presentation: 330 ml bottle with freshness date printed on the bottle (Best before September 2009).
Appearance: The pour is basically jet-black - held up against the light it reveals only small deep red hues. The liquid seems clear. The head is about 3 cm - bigger than expected and certainly bigger than many stouts - and its color is one shade darker than your ordinary cappuccino. It's a very thick and creamy head - almost reminiscent of a nitro-carbonated brew - and it stays for a while before settling into a ring of lacings. I must say, this beer looks very good.
Smell: Some quite powerful aromas of dark fruits - mostly black currants - and milk chocolate hit the nose. Plenty of roasted malts and coffee are there as well. A faint nutty aroma - perhaps of cashew nuts of almonds - finishes off the smell, which I enjoyed quite a bit, of this one.
Taste: More dark fruits and notes of ripe red apples blend with molasses for a big sweet flavor. Roasted malts are also rather assertive. There is also a somewhat unusual chocolate character present - consisting of a mix of both bitter and sweet chocolate flavors. In the slightly bitter finish, there is a small twang from the alcohol, a sweet taste of toffee and gentle hops. Towards the end, when the beer warms up, the chocolate flavor becomes more prominent. Overall, this one tastes good, but not extraordinary. It has a nice balance between some of the usual flavors found in a stout, and some flavors are even quite big and powerful - almost trying to enter the domain of imperial stouts.
Mouthfeel: Heavier on the carbonation and a bit livelier than I had anticipated. Semi-full (not medium though) body. Towards the end, it gets a little smoother.
Drinkability: This is a very good beer, but as already noted, not extraordinary. It looks and smells really good - the smell actually outweighs the taste, which is a bit of a disappointment. Somehow, it feels smaller than it actually is - the alcohol hides really well - but I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. However, irrespective of this, it's highly recommended and I would definitely try it again if it was offered to me, but I wouldn't make any huge efforts trying to get a hold of it.

A: black with a solid two+ fingers of chocolate
hued head. I don't know that I've seen such
a strong crown come out of a bottle.
S: Sweet malty aroma with strong overtones of
coffee and cocoa.
T: Intense flavor, sweet upon introduction with
a coffee bittnerness at the back of the
pallet. The malt concentration is intense
and the blend of cocoa and coffee is master-
M/D: Nice and creamy with moderate carbonation
and a supremely smooth drink. The ABV
makes having a few nice and easy.

I probably tend to over-rate this stout, having spent a year and a half cycling through Southern Asia, but it stands out so much compared to the general run of lackluster beers and second rate stouts that the difference is quite dramatic.
In a geographical area where finding even an 'adequate' beer is problematic, to tumble on a world class stout was a very pleasant shock. I never found this on tap, which I imagine would have been even better, but it ranks second in my experience to a nicely pulled Guinness pint in a pub in Ireland.

3.98/5 rDev +1.3%
A: Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass. Dark brown or black - non-translucent with minimal light brown head that quickly dissipated to a single ring. No real lacing to speak of.
S: Coffee and toffey aromas with a touch of sweet malt.
T: Heavily roasted chocolate malt is immediate and predominant, with light hints of sweetness somewhat toffee-ish in nature.
M&D: Heavy mouthfeel and full bodied. Very light but persistent carbonation goes well with the favors and heaviness at hand. At 8% I was expecting some warming but didn't really experience any. Goes down pretty smoothly.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine July 2007.
Michael Jackson (the beer writer) had good things to say about this beer; he even landed his mug on the packag- ing somehow.
Massive tan head--four fingers' worth--rises slowly. Rocky, dense and bubbly, it drops to a thick lace that sticks all over the glass. Very fragrant with aromas of black currants, blackberries, cocoa powder and mild roast coffee. Amazing smoothness and medium creamy body with a lush mouthfeel. Quite malty to start, with a sweetness similar to sweetened coffee. The 8 percent ABV is deceiving to begin with, but after several sips, the palate warms right up. From middle to end come waves of roasted malt with undertones of dark bitter chocolate and faint espresso bean. Minimal hop bitterness, a little fruity and yeasty toward the end. Finishes on the sweet side with a long note of roasted flavor.

Presentation: 625ml brown bottle with a gold foil neck. MJ, the beer hunter, is pictured on the back of the label with a cheesy endorsement. Expiration date printed on the bottle.
Appearance: Black with brown hues. Pours a massive tan head with a creamy/foamy consistency, lots of glass stick and great retention. Unfiltered.
Smell: Caramel, light roasted notes, wet paper, touch of musty fruit.
Taste: A malty sweet brew, smooth and mature in character. Caramel, chocolate and mocha flavours are dominant with a touch of blackstrap molasses in the background. Wet paper flavours pull-thru revealing some oxidation of the beer. Soft, even mouthfeel. Alcohol is not evident in taste, but you can feel it working the brain. Mild astringent bite and dryness. Finish is chocolaty, a bit metallic and dries up.
Notes: Over-promoted by Michael Jackson and over-hyped in general. A pretty average sweet stout that has potential to be something better, but it never gets there. It sits somewhere between a dry Irish stout and typical sweet stout, leaning a bit too much towards the dry with its flat, one dimensional malt profile. Still at least worth a try for all of you stout lovers out there.

625 ml bottle. Pours a dark, nearly opaque, brown with a creamy light brown head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is musty roasted malts, dark fruits and a little alcohol and some off notes (DMS?).
The flavor is roasted chocolate and sweet creamy lactose with a touch of coffee. It leads to a crisp, lightly bitter finish. The alcohol is well hidden. The mouthfeel is medium to full and velvety.
Overall, a decent stout. It's more subdued than I was expecting, but still nicely done.

M: pretty thin feeling for a stout. very bubbly. alcohol taste/feel. reminds me of beer flavored champagne.
D: 8% ABV is kinda rough. I've got will power of steel so I could drink a few but i'd rather stop after one.

330ml / 11.5oz brown bottle with an expiration date printed on the bottle. Stellar lacing on the glass with a ring being left nearly every sip. Coal black with virtually no light coming through.
Sweet molasses, prunes and black currants, thick roasted coffee, baker's chocolate and a estery alcohol are all aromas I pick off of this stout.
Full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Smooth and creamy without a doubt, coffee and unsweetened chocolate come to mind at the first taste. Fruity twang in the middle of black currants, this twang doubles with a roasted grain flavour that is perfectly balanced. Hints of charcoal and earth run middle to end as the alcohol as kicks in with a warming estery character. Finishes slightly sweet with vague remnants of roastedness.
Not as complex as I thought it would be but that is finish being that a brew with such strength can be so drinkable. I'll going back to this beer for sure.

Pours a beautiful ebony with an attractive camel head. Plenty of lacing on the glass. Colour is dark as midnight. Smells like a good stout should. Roasty malts, coffee, prunes, and hints of Belgian chocolate. Mouthful is a rewarding combo of thick and creamy perfection.
Taste is more complex than the nose, as dried fruits(prunes and raisins) and a touch of hops make their entrance. Very satisfying from start to finish.
Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia, had a bunch of these and advertised the Michael Jackson accolades. The Vintage Cellar also posts the Top 50 BA ratings, and had a few Westy 12's when I stoppee by. I'll review the Westy later.
Lion Stout is a worthy concoction. Thoroughly enjoyable and English in character. Deserving of its praise.

In one word: Excellent. I do love stouts and I was excited to try one from a country I do not usually purchase beer from. The beer was poured dark brown, almost black with a thick tan head that left decent lacing. It smelled of caramel and raisins. The taste had a tangy start and a malty finish, giving it a great balance. It was fun each time I put it in my mouth and I looked forward to each new sip! The taste, much like the smell also had hints of caramel, raisins, and espresso. The finish was like bittersweet chocolate. Highly recommended.

12 ouncer sampled, no freshness dating. Pours black, little light shining through the edges. Dark tan head, any lacing sliding down the side of the glass. Nose is funky, and of burnt malt. Taste is a bit on the thin side, just a hint of burnt malt, some chocolate and drying hops. Alcohol is on the hot side and a bit up front. Decent product, but other stouts come to mind to try next time.

Sinha Stout, 330mL bottle, B/B Apr 2005.
Appearance: Opaque black syrupy fluid with a tan head which almost looks rose-coloured. Close inspection with bright light shows moderate carbonation and mahogany colour.
Smell: Solvent alcohol, date, raisin, cocoa, maybe even stone fruit. Complex but still refreshing.
Taste: Smooth, chocolatey, bitter, very nice, but not particularly unusually good,
Mouthfeel is very smooth, creamy but quite interesting. Definitely creamy. As a result, drinkability is impressive. Although I wouldn't drink it all night, but it's a nice stout overall.

Appearance: one inch light brown head, black brown in color, opaque
Smell: coffee and dark chocolate
Taste: coffee, dark chocolate, light creaminess, and alcohol in the finish
Mouthfeel: super smooth, low carbonation, sweet with a bitterness that appears in the middle, light body for the style
Drinkability: I really liked this one. It is so nice and light and for the abv, the alcohol is not overly noticable. Very enjoyable, glad I went with the six on this instead of the single.

Appearance This one poured a light and clear yellow with just a tinge of orange. The head was full as well.
Smell No skunk to start things off, which is always a big plus for this category. The nasty Gummi-Bear sweetness found in a lot of Pale Lager macros is absent as well, leaving the drinker with a harsh but clear nose of grain.
Taste This is not bad. Its more ricey than grainy, but theres nothing offensive in here.
Mouthfeel Light-bodied, of course, with a bit of decent carbonation. This one is quite refreshing.
Drinkability I cant believe Im saying this, but Im going to award a Pale Lager macro the title of average. Congratulations Guinness!

This was a decent lager. My pour had a good head on it that faded quickly and left little lace. The smell was quite grainy with a little bit of hop in there as well. The taste was simmilar to many macro lagers I've had...grain with a touch of malt flavor and little to no hop bitterness. Although my girlfriend ordered one and enjoyed a beer for the first time, I do not think I will be paying for another one of these myself..

Pours light yellow. Clear. Abundant foamy head that settles down nicely. The taste contains some corny notes similar to American Adjunct Lagers but better. There is a premium quality that sets it apart and makes it better than average.
A very good choice for a summer session beer over a bbq'd hamburger.
A refreshing and enjoyable beer.

On tap -- What a surprise. I actually enjoyed Harp. Nice near amber colour, decent lasting head, creamy mouthfeel, light sweetness, cling-y soft & faint buttery flavour and a fruity backbone. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent session beer.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has great clarity and a bright yellow straw color. Its head is thick with big pillowy stiff peaks. It has great retention and leaves behind lots of cool lacing.
Smell: The aroma has pleasant aromatic hops and light malt.
Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor has a good balance of sweet, light malts with mellow leafy and floral hops. Bitterness is mild and fades to a clean finish. Its texture is smooth and wet with average carbonation and a light to medium body that is very drinkable.
Notes: For me this was a very enjoyable beer with a beautiful look and pleasing aroma. The flavor is clean, refreshing and highly drinkable. Cheers!

Appearence: It has a nice dark but still golden colour.A Decent head that sticks around for a little while when poured correctly into the glass; along with some pretty good lacing.
S: Hops and a hint of fruity-ness, a decent overall smell.
Taste: Acceptable and somewhat bitter, with no off flavours, and not much sweetness to speak of.
Mouthfeel: Decent with a good amount of carbonation, smooth enough to drink despite the bitter.
Drinkability: Easy enough to drink one with a meal, enjoyable, but not the type of beer that you might want to drink many of at one time.

Presentation: 12 oz brown bottle, no freshness date. On the back label it boasts about the spirit of the beer and the award winning flavour.
Appearance: Bight and shimmering golden hue, active carbonation sparkles to the top to form a rich cake like foam that slowly dissipates into a thin yet strong white lace.
Smell: Mix of quick yet inviting sweetness of malt and floral like hops, alcohol is a tad noticeable … clean to the nose.
Taste: Broad medium body for a lager, crisp and smooth at the same time with a grainy palate of a mouth feel. Bitterness of the hops is very straight forward with a tingling sensation and mildly astringent bite. Full mouth of grain, a little malted though more husk of grain than anything else reminiscent of fresh cut hay. Odd raw but refined at the same time with in the grainy flavours. Both husk and hop bitterness linger into a tightly packaged finish.
Notes: Not bad though not what I remember drinking back in the day. I'd gladly pay the extra buck or two a six pack to have the real stuff again.

Pours like a nice lager should, dark yellow with a decent head. taste is very malty. Definately, the malt is where it's at with this brew. Hops are there but not distinct to the maltiness. Overall, I thought this was a little disappointing, considering Guinness and all. I think this is a typical middle of the road Euro lager.
