Bruce - I got the wine at the winery.
Joe - yes, it is to harness the power of the pyramid.
They say they do regular blind tastings with the same wine, some aged in the pyramid, some not and the one that has been in the pyramid is preferred by 98% of the tasters.
Jenise - we have been travelling around and are currently in Osoyoos

The winery tasting room and restaurant overlooking lake is the building at right foreground.
The winery is below the tasting room and viewable from a walkway to the toilets. An assistant winemaker was disgorging sparkling wine and adding the chaampagne cork. Although machines were used, it was a slow bottle by bottle job, each bottle placed by hand in turn into the machines for processing unlike the large automated lines that do the entire process without human intervention that I have seen in France.
Pyramid.jpg
The entrance to the pyramid is under the stone arches. There are 22 steps up into the pyramid chamber. The pyramid is made of wood with thick concrete slabs placed on-top. No mains electricity inside and no magnetic metals, though wide bands of copper were added lining each corner joint and there are crystals hanging from the apex.
