This very short 'webseries' features people struggling to choose a wine for an occasion they are going to – a different scenario in each of the three episodes. In each case they contact the Barefoot Wine phone line to get advice – Barefoot Wines being the sponsoring company here. The idea is well intentioned in concept, and it does offer the potential for some snarky comedy which does occasionally poke out, but only very occasionally. Mostly the delivery is not as funny or smart as it needs to be, and this leaves plenty of space for the show to be what it is – an advert for a wine company but forced into a millennial-targeting format.
Ultimately this is all it is; the cheesy tone it has is amusing but of no consequence, and the packaging into 1-minute long episodes seemed pointless too – make them longer and more interesting, or cluster them together into a slightly longer single advert. It is presented as being fun and with charm, but really the material is not there to make that work, so it doesn't.
