Let your wine savvy take flight.

Ever been that girl at a wine tasting who's feeling lost while everyone else is swirling, nosing or whatever it is they do with wine? Head to Downtown's Corkbar to meet resident wine whisperer Natalie Van Waarderburg. For $15, the on-site sommelier will help you navigate 80-plus selections to create a custom flight of three California-made wines that are just your taste. Here's a palate primer:

• Enjoy sweet n' fruity flavors? Try this varietal.
• Not sure if you like reds? Get a grape introduction with this unique one.
• Want to pair your wine with veggies? Try this.

While you're there, try healthier dishes off the rotating seasonal menu: Israeli Couscous Salad, White Bean Purée or the Farmer's Market Veggie Sandwich (see the whole menu here.)

You heard it through the grapevine.
