The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first. Find us on these platforms or reach out to our newsroom at news@ gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435. Differing weather patterns result in unique local wines Years ago I was asking a colleague from California about a Napa Valley wine, inquiring naively if the bottle I had bought was a good year. “Every year is a good year,” he said. It had me wondering. Why is there so much varia tion in wines from Georgia, or, say, the Burgundy region in France? The center of Bur gundy wine production is in Beaune, latitude 47 degrees north. In Germany, the popu lar Moselle wines grow even farther north. Worldwide, much more wine comes from areas near 35 degrees latitude, where the sunlight is stronger. Georgia would qualify in that regard. But the most consistent wine- producing areas are on the southwestern sides of the Earth’s continents. Grapes love sunshine. They do less well in highly changeable weather. On a grand scale, the weather patterns on each side of the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean are controlled by the subtropical highs. Giant areas of air sink down toward the water surface, centered near 30 degrees north of the equator. High pressure means clear sky and an outflow of air away from the center. Air coming out of the highs flows clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise south of the equator. In California, this means wind from the northwest, dragging cool ocean water to the shore. The cool water causes more air to subside, suppressing rain and bringing more sunshine. On the other side of the ocean, South Korea is at the same latitude, but the clockwise windf low brings air from the southeast. This means warm, moist, unstable air and frequent rain. The same is true for the Atlantic Ocean. Sunny, stable conditions favor Portugal’s and Spain’s wine areas. Across the Atlantic, the subtropical high funnels humid air and change able weather into Georgia. The southwestern sides of continents have the advantage. In South America, vast vineyards near Casablanca, Chile produce a wealth of wines. In southwest ern Australia, dozens of winer ies dot the countryside near Perth and beyond. The same is true for the south western corner of South Africa, who ranks tenth in world production of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and chenin blanc. Due to our changeable weather, Geor gia’s wineries can’t achieve the massive volume and worldwide distribution that’s common to the southwestern sides of continents. On the other hand, it leaves opportunity for discovery and treasure hunts that make our smaller wine country unique.

TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1814, a third version of Beethoven’s only opera, “Fidelio,” had its world premiere in Vienna. In 1911, the newly completed New York Public Library was dedi cated by President William Howard Taft, Gov. John Alden Dix and Mayor William Jay Gaynor. In 1915, Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary during World War I. In 1934, bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were shot to death in a police ambush in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. In 1939, the Navy submarine USS Squalus sank during a test dive off the New England coast. Thirty-two crew members and one civilian were rescued, but 26 others died; the sub was salvaged and re-commissioned the USS Sailfish. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces bogged down in Anzio began a major breakout offensive. In 1945, Nazi official Heinrich Himmler committed suicide by bit ing into a cyanide capsule while in British custody in Luneburg, Germany. In 1967, Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, an action which helped precipitate war between Israel and its Arab neighbors the following month.

You’re different from the oth ers, so it naturally follows that you’ll ask different questions and have novel interactions. You’re memorable and will be adored for this. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you had to choose between being in an endless state of self-satisfaction or continual self-improvement that never quite arrives, you’d take the latter. A pinch of discontent keeps life interesting. GEMINI (May 21 -June 21). The more people you can align with, the bigger your team grows. You’ll build that group through the weekend, finding kindred spirits or being in the places where they’ll find you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Pay attention to power dy namics because they will teach you a lot about who people really are. The true test of a person’s character is how they handle themselves when they clearly have the upper hand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re looking for an answer that feels right and actionable to you. You’ve followed lines of logic, but none of them satis fied. So try switching off your head and letting your inner guidance system have a go at this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s said that every big problem was once a minor distur bance. That’s why you like to handle things when they are small, and you’re very sensi tive to all red flags, even the itty-bitty ones! LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). It shouldn’t be too hard to be good. And if it feels that way, maybe it’s the rules or envi ronment that needs changing, not you. The river needs no special devotion, goodness or willpower to flow effortlessly home to the sea. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your best idea will come as a joke. So you have nothing to lose from thinking in funny terms and letting humor, playfulness and creativity run rampant in your mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you can’t change the past, you can always change the way you see it. Perhaps you’ve been harsh, not assessing the bigger picture. How else could you frame the story? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll feel something akin to this Shakespearean senti ment today, “But the strong base and building of my love is as the very centre of the earth, drawing all things to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you feel your mind taking things in too serious a direction, you can lighten up the whole mental screen with some bodywork — a walk, a stretch. It won’t take much! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being stuck is a function of having too much, not too little. Let go of an idea or item and then see if you don’t have a little more wiggle room. Jet tison enough baggage and you can walk right out.
