CALDWELL, Idaho — Mike Williamson and his crew waited out intermittent storms early Nov. 13, standing ready to pick grapes for ice wine.

“Yesterday it was Riesling white, and today we’re going to pick some reds,” the Williamson Orchards & Vineyards co-owner said.

For the year, “when we look at yields over the whole farm, we’re right on average for tonnage,” Williamson said.
