Scotchmans Hill Special Offer to MYC Members

20/12/2016

 
Picture
Scotchmans Hill are extremely proud to partner with the Mornington Yacht Club to provide members with a range of great tasting, premium cool maritime climate wines from across the bay.
 
Each month we will have available to all member’s great stories, offers and tastings as well as great ongoing member discounts across all of our wines across the ranges. 
 
We are pleased to offer all members of Mornington Yacht Club access to our wines through our Friends club. You just need to CLICK HERE  for the Scotchmans Hill/Mornington Yacht Club Wine Club page – subscribe and you will receive:
 
$ 50 OFF your first order
  • A special $OFF gift for your birthday
  • Ongoing discounts of up to 15% off Swan Bay wines in December. The offer will extend to the rest of our range in January.
  • Monthly special wine offers
 
 Save on stylish wines made for seasonal entertaining!
 
Let’s be honest, celebrating Christmas with family and friends in thirsty work, Cue the Scotchmans Hill entertainer’s selection – a delicious mix of wines with a very refreshing saving. Priced at only $265 (RRP $ 365), each case contains 2 bottles each of: Swan Bay Brut Sparkling, Scotchmans Hill Sauvingon Blanc, Scotchmans Hill Chardonnay, Scotchmans Hill Pinot Noir, Scotchmans Hill Shiraz and Cornelius Pinot Noir. So raise a glass, because $100 worth of saving is worth drinking to. Merry Christmas!
 
Swan Bay – because backyard barbeques (or onboard boats) don’t necessarily require a black tie.   Up to 15% off Swan Bay Wines this month.
           
Summer is here, and much like your impending holidays, the drinking now should be easy. Sunny days are no time for dusty aged reds and big oily whites – now is the time for approachable wines that fit with any occasion without bypassing sophistication in process.
 
Taking their name from the nature reserve located to the southeast of the vineyard, Swan Bay wines pay homage to this beautiful protected wetland and iconic Bellarine Peninsula landmark.
 
Grown and produced with the same peerless quality and attention to detail that has made Scotchmans Hill an Australian wine icon, the Swan Bay collection is the immediately drinkable offering that delivers our signature cool-climate elegance, along with plenty of complexity and exceptional value.
 
Because Swan Bay wines share the same great pedigree, philosophies, care and attention of our premium range, the wines represent outstanding value for money and are the ideal go-to for relaxed summer entertaining.
 
Beautifully showcasing the unique terroir of Geelong and the Bellarine, new vintage releases of the Swan Bay Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Vintage Brut have all just arrived, and have once again captured the elegance, balance and purity that we strive for with each vintage.
 
And the wine media seem to agree, with the panel at Wine Tasting Review awarding the 2015 Vintage Brut an impressive 91 points, dubbing it “complex and rich” with a “long lingering finish.” Meanwhile, wine journalist Jane Thomson at the Adelaide Advertiser praised the 2015 Swan Bay Pinot Grigio for its superior texture, length, minerality and “doubly good” value for money.

Story about Keith by Graeme Pimlott…
Keith and I used to go to lunch every Friday.  On one occasion we went to The Grand Hotel and on leaving, Keith was parked in the rear car park which is on an angle. On taking off, his towbar nicked a number plate unaware to us. Two or three days later, the police contacted Keith - they were going to charge him for leaving the scene of an accident or his option was to go and sort it out with the car owner.
So Keith asked me to go with him and the address was in Somerville.  We turned up at the property, Keith in a huff and approached the car and saw the slight dint on the number plate. The guy came out and his quote to fix the number plate was $300!!  After discussions we decided to pay the $300 because of the illuming police charge.  Leaving the scene Keith suggested we go to the Somerville Hotel for lunch, which we had an enjoyable lunch. On the way home down Bungower Rd we sighted the same vehicle rolled in a ditch beside the road. I suggested to Keith that we pull over and help him. With a big smirk Keith said, “Yes we will”. So we stopped, asked the gentlemen in question, does he need a hand? As he looked up and recognised Keith, he said No!  Keith’s reply “hope your F*ing number plate is not damaged”!  and smirked the way home!


Picture
Keith, Keithy, Grumpy. 
He answered to them all usually with a hrrmph. We all knew that was just Keith.

​Keith was on the MYC committee for around 18 years and his ability at recalling minutes from years earlier was astounding and so valuable, although probably most notably was the first and sometimes only words he said at the meetings was:
''I move that the incoming correspondence be accepted and the outgoing correspondence be approved”

​Keith was an integral part of Team MYC and l would be surprised if he isn't watching now making sure we get it right.  Keith we will miss you but forever we will remember you. 

Sheryl Schumacher, Commodore

When you saw Keith coming towards the office you knew there was a task to be completed - whatever the job you knew that the expectation was to produce what he needed quickly and it had to be correct the first time. 

You didn’t mind though as this was how Keith operated, he did things right the first time, no exceptions, the way tasks should be done. You may think this is being “grumpy” or harsh but more often than not when Keith was in the office he was respectful, charming, even funny at times….an enigma.
​
We feel privileged to have been allowed to see Keith’s soft side - Thank you Keith for your support of the MYC office, your respect & your smile with sparkling eyes.
Your contribution to the Mornington Yacht Club may have ended but will not be forgotten. 
           
Rest in peace, the MYC office

The end of an era with the passing of Keith,
They just don't make them like that anymore,

His don't beat around the bush direct conversation telling you as it really is,  his considerable engineering knowledge with all things structural and mechanical will be greatly missed.  His contribution to our club was considerable, but what I will miss more than anything is his short two worded considered comments with that smile that only Keith could deliver either from the committee room or from behind his favourite round table with coffee in hand at the bar.

​Telling us Etchells guys off yet again for damaging the crane that he just spent the previous week fixing so we could all go racing on the weekend.

Not many have cared for our club as much for so long as Keith, he was the one whom in his quite direct manner could just fix stuff with no fuss and very little expense.

He will be sadly missed and as I said before they just don't make them like that anymore…may he always be on the lifted tack,

Graeme Alexander, Past Commodore


Keith took enormous pride in the smooth running of our slipping days. He was quick to growl in his customary way at any owner who slowed up the process. Two years ago I was helping Ron slip Orlando, we got the yacht to the slipway head in quick time with no drama. I climbed down off the boat and said to Keith. “How easy was that? No dramas.” He had a huge grin on his face and said quietly, “don’t turn around now.”

Ron had released the slipping ropes before the crane slings were attached and the boat was in danger of falling out of the cradle.

Strangely enough he never let me live it down!   His contribution to our club cannot be quantified…..

The porcupine with the soft heart and cheeky grin - Greg Martin, Past Commodore 

Picture
A group of members with time to spare gathered together on Thursday mornings to attend to maintenance around the club. Keith organized everyone, the group became known as the Thursday Action Group (TAG Team) named by Mel Miles many years ago. Keith would arrive with his mobile workshop and hardware store and organize all the necessary repairs that needed to be done. If spares couldn’t be obtained Keith would go home and with his vast engineering prowess manufacture the necessary part. He did this repeatedly for many a member needing his expertise.  Keith maintained our tractors & cranes over many years always being available when the club needed him.

Action was not always the key factor on Thursdays and the morning was always ended with coffee and biscuits.  Cream cake was added to the menu over the years and Keith was always given the largest portion and if there was any leftover it was Keith’s - no discussion entered into.

Keith was the backbone of Mornington Yacht club and will be sadly missed,

The TAG Team
