With the temperatures in the 40's this week, winemakers are worried about their grapes for ice wine.
Owners of Mazza Vineyard in Northeast tell us they were supposed to harvest their grapes in hopes of making ice wine last week.
But winemakers had to continue to post-pone harvesting grapes because it just wasn't cold enough outside.
We talked with owners today, who are going to be picking grapes tomorrow, but they're not going to be calling it ice wine because the grapes aren't cold enough.
