actually olives & dates have priority over grapes.  But the simple 
answer is that the MB doesn't presume either that you have grapes at 
that moment, or that you have already eaten grapes that season.

But I don't get why we need this whole alternative in the first place. 
What's wrong with saying Shehecheyanu first, since the chiyuv comes first?
