New Myrtle Ave. Bar Celebrates March With Women Wine-makers

CLINTON HILL, BROOKLYN — A new wine and craft beer bar on Myrtle Avenue is kicking off their first few weeks open by celebrating Women's History Month.

The bar, called Tailfeather, will offer only wine by the glass made by women wine-makers throughout the month of March at its 581 Myrtle Avenue space. The new spot officially opened Feb. 2.

"We're excited to celebrate Women's History Month while giving back," co-owner Autumn Stanford said.

A portion of the proceeds, $1 from each glass and $3 from each bottle, will be donated to the Tillary St. Women's Shelter, Sanford added.

So far, their women wine-maker options have included Brianne Day, who owns her own vineyard in the Eola Amity Hills of Oregon, and Laura Brennan Bissell, who works with growers who farm organically across California.

Tailfeather is the third eatery in the neighborhood that Sanford and her husband, Dennis Mendoza, run. The couple also owns Filipino-Tex-Mex mashup Swell Dive on Bedford Avenue and Czech pastry shop Brooklyn Kolache on Dekalb Avenue.

The new bar also hosts "Industry Nights" on Mondays with $7 organic house wines, $5 pints of Jacks Abby Lager and $6 fancy pizza bagels. On Tuesdays they do $10 wine flights and each day from 4 to 7 p.m. they have happy hour with dollar-off wine and beers, plus $5 off bottles of wine.
