Andromedon is played by actor Tituss Burgessn whose love for pinot noir wine is so real that he's launched his own brand of wine called Pinot By Titus.

The 2014 vintage of “Pinot by Tituss” hails from Santa Barbara County and it’s going for $24.99 a bottle. According to his instagram account, this new wine is “to be enjoyed by all the fabulous Kings and Kweens" because “pinot makes things fun.”
