“I am probably Rochester’s biggest cheerleader. When people tell me there is nothing to do in Rochester, they are not looking hard enough. I am at all the festivals and all the events,” laughed Reuter.

"I was a stay at home for 20 years,” Reuter said. “Flight Wine Bar came up for sale and I went for it. I have so much support from my husband, my kids and family. My oldest daughter works here with me. They are always there to support and help with whatever I need.”

Flight Wine Bar is located on Exchange Street in Corn Hill Landing right along the Genesee River. Thursday there’s a fundraiser planned to support the future Safe Way Homes of Greater Rochester. The event starts at 5:30 p.m.
