*The vineyard has recently undergone a change in management and it's fairly close to the west side of the Mississippi. In fact, odds are the Vineyard reaches the river. Likely some irrigation from the river is used for the Vineyard as well. The main office has a light on and behind it is a modest Villa with decent amount of security, but nothing over the top*

*Having recently had a lovely bottle of wine he traced it back to it's vineyard and was surprised to discover it was in town. This amazement and amusement lead him to this place, yes it was late at night but...the suntan would be killer otherwise...and so he knocked on the main offices door, hoping someone would be there.*
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 10:40:18 PM)
*after a few moments a female around 30ish of obvious middle eastern descent opens the door, her accent is pretty heavy but she does speak in english* Can I help you with something sir?
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 10:43:38 PM)
I recently had a bottle of your lovely wine and I was curious as to weather or not I could speak with the vineyards owner, It has been a while since I've had a wine that has made me want to up and travel to see an owner...in fact i don't think It's ever happened before...
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 10:46:41 PM)
Well, he should be out in the Vineyard right now. If you wish to wait for him, I'm sure he'll be happy to speak with you. Though, you are fortunate to come when you did. I was just about to close up the office.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 10:47:42 PM)
Ahh fortunate ineed, seems the Universe smiles on me today, yes? *he chuckles*
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 10:49:33 PM)
It smiles on many from time to time. But if you will excuse me, I need to finish tonights paperwork and close up. I'm sure my husband will be with you as soon as he is finished inspecting the Vineyard.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 10:52:30 PM)
Of course my appoligies.
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 10:56:17 PM)
*she offers a polite smile before returning inside the office and about 5 or 10 minutes later you'll see a gentleman also of middle eastern descent approach from the Vineyard, he appears to be in his 40s though.--masked of course-- wearing a traditional Camisa or long shirt*
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 10:59:35 PM)
*Alex turns watching the new gentleman.* The owner I presume? *There seeming to be a slight hint of amusement to the tone, almost as th
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 10:59:56 PM)
(*though everything was humorous in some way or another.)
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:02:02 PM)
*he notes the person and nods* Indeed. *his english much cleaner, but still it has the obvious accent* Is there something I can do for you? *his hands are clasped behind his back atm*
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:03:34 PM)
I came to compliment this fine beverage you're vineyard has created, some may consider it odd to travel all the way here...but you know I have all the time in the world...*he chuckles lightly*
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:08:46 PM)
*he smiles and nods* Why thank you. Although, I can't guarantee that the wine you had was from here. I've only recently acquired the Vineyard. And this isn't that far to travel if you are in the area.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:09:49 PM)
Perhaps...but who at this late hour seeks out a vineyard, with such...passion? Hmmm perhaps...
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:12:49 PM)
I can't say that I've ever met anyone with such passion for grapes or wine for that matter. In fact, in all my years no one has ever gone out of their way to come to my place of business simply to compliment us. But as they say, there is a first time for everything.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:14:08 PM)
Ahh, but If I had not, then you would not have known and that would have been a terrible misfortune, yes?
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:18:53 PM)
*he smiles* Perhaps, although I doubt misfortune is the proper term. As not being complimented isn't exactly life changing. So, was that all that brought you here tonight?
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:19:37 PM)
It was a start, but I was curious...what happened to the previous owners?
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:20:12 PM)
They wanted to sell and I just happened to be interested enough to buy.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:24:22 PM)
Hmmm, then that is good for you
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:24:35 PM)
Do you plan on changing the direction of the brewing process at all?
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:26:23 PM)
I might inquire about adding something to the mix. But I haven't really decided on that. I've simply been trying to settle in and make sure everything is going smoothly before attempting any changes.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:31:00 PM)
Ahhh, a proper conversion before adaptaion and adjustment?
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:32:33 PM)
*nods* Exactly. No need to rock the boat and cause it to sink.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:34:35 PM)
Seems a very cautious approach but one i can understand under the circumstances.*
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:36:19 PM)
Indeed. *he takes in a breathe and sighs as his hands come out from behind his back, his right hand having prayer beads within them being manipulated* So, is there anything else I can do for you, Sir?
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:40:26 PM)
No i think that was all I had, I appologise for interupting the peace of your Vineyard, and wish you greater prosperity...*he smiles as he waits a moment.*
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:41:05 PM)
*smiles* No appology necessary and thank you. Peace be with you.
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:41:56 PM)
And you. *he says just before he begins to head off towards the his car.*
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:44:08 PM)
*it was about that time that the lights in the office finally went out and woman exited the office after closing it up and locking it. she turns about and notes Alex leaving as she looks to Naji and speaks in arabic to him, he offers a response and nod. To which she heads to the Villa, while he watches Alex take his leave*
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:46:00 PM)
((thanks for the scene!))
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:46:24 PM)
(np, so, whatcha think of Naji?)
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:48:11 PM)
((pretty cool, I don't really have opinions of characters, lol...it's kinda hard to make a determination based off of interacition with one character))
Naji ibn Petra (Sep 28, 2011 11:48:41 PM)
(*nods* fair enough, thanks for the scene though)
Alex White (Sep 28, 2011 11:49:06 PM)
((thank you.)
