A daily chronicle of creativity in film, TV, music, arts, and entertainment, produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from November 2014 – March 2020. Host John Horn leads the conversation, accompanied by the nation's most plugged-in cultural journalists.

It was only a matter of time before this pairing of a wine and a TV character came to be.

In the Netflix comedy series “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” the character Titus Andromedon is a struggling wanna-be Broadway actor. In one episode, he makes a music video for a song "Peeno Noir" which he deems "an ode to black penis."

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.”
