Okanagan Tour (Sacred Pyramid!)

by Brian K Miller » Fri Jun 24, 2016 5:38 pm

I am enjoying the Wineorak (Jamie Goode) tour of Okanagan as it is a place I have never been to or drank through.

We had a discussion here about "biodynamics", and they visited a winery that has fallen hard.


But it’s hard to get past the pyramid. Stephen Cipes took us in there. It’s a one-eighth scale replica of the great pyramid, and they were preparing for a guided meditation inside as we entered – this was the summer solstice. All the wines, at some stage, pass through the pyramid. ‘Liquids are changed and transformed in the sacred geometry chamber,’ says Stephen. His view is that the energy here makes a good wine better, but also a bad wine worse. If people enter in a good mood they will leave brighter, but if they enter in a bad one, it will get worse.

Wait, what if you drink a good wine in the pyramid while you're in a bad mood? The wine gets better, but you get even grouchier -- or does the wine offset your mood? Or does your mood ruin the wine? And, most of all...

...are there magnets involved? :D
cheers, Patchen

I would imagine magnets, being produced by evil industrial processessessess...are not involved. Instead, there is a tincture of ground cow dung, native beetle wings, the dust of a "magic mushroom", diluted marijuana, and the eyelashes of a newt.

Haven't visited Summerhill myself. Now, I'll be sure not to.

I went there, the place is impressive. But unfortunately the wines weren't
