March 03--Unless you've been living in an underground bunker for 15 years, you probably are familiar with Netflix's widely popular series, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And if you've watched the show, you're familiar with Titus Andromedon, the titular character's sassy, enigmatic roommate, and his goofy, campy viral song, "Peeno Noir."
Kimmy Schmidt fans, rejoice. Tituss Burgess -- the actor playing Titus -- announced via Instagram the release of his own pinot noir, but of the vinous variety. Dubbed "Pinot by Tituss," the wine ($24.99) will be released next week.
The Santa Barbara pinot noir, available for pre-order, is "to be enjoyed by all the fabulous Kings and Kweens," Burgess wrote. Tasting notes describe aromas of dried fruits, slate and roses, with flavors of plum and cola, but the verdict is still out on if the wine will pair with leather bars, being pop-u-lar, or Roseanne Barr.
The timing of its release couldn't be better: Kimmy Schmidt's second season returns to Netflix on April 15th. Stock up like you're a member of a doomsday cult and let the binge-watching (and drinking) commence.
