Remember when the U.S. and Canada were at all-out war, and our armies roamed the countrysides burning entire towns and villages to the ground? That crazy historical period helped shape the Niagara River region of Ontario, downstream from a certain waterfall.

Talk about going to the source: I got to sip the unexpectedly delicious Peach Fruit Spirit created by the Spirit in Niagara Distillery right in the orchard on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Distillery founder Arnie Lepp, a lifelong farmer, hated to see all the peaches that fell to the ground at the family orchard go to waste, so he built a state-of-the-art facility to reclaim them for the noble cause of boutique alcohol production. Before you scoff, head on up to the tasting room and order a peach sour. You're welcome.
