Soon after entering the gateway into the winery, everyone broke off into small groups and wandered about, each at their own pace. Â Geneidi lost himself quietly in the back vineyard, checking out the quality of the grapes grown there. Â He had a very special interest in grapes, ever since he was a little kid. Â He always enjoyed peanut butter and jelly on doughy white bread, but never to this day, was the grape jelly quite right. Â He has spent most of his youthful and adult years experimenting, making grape jelly, hoping to find the perfect partner for his beloved peanut butter and jelly combo.

When he was certain that he wouldn't be seen by the owners, he stooped down and began to sample the grapes. Â "Holy skamoali" he exclaimed, "I think IÂ found it! Â The perfect jelly grape." Â He then began to strip the vines of their heavy fruit and stuff them into all his pockets. He now couldn't wait to get back to the bus, so he could make up what he knew to be the supreme elixir. Â He waddled out of the place as inconspicuously as he could and headed back alone.
