Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the surprisingly upbeat comedy that gave the charming Ellie Kemper a starring role, will return later this spring. But we've already got a treat from the arguably the sitcom's biggest breakout star, Tituss Burgess.

And that treat is wine. 



Burgess, who plays Kimmy's roommate Titus Andromedon, announced that he's launching his own brand of pinot noir. Why red wine, you may ask? If you've seen the show, you'll remember that Burgess' character films a wonderfully bizarre music video, "Peeno Noir," which is "an ode to black penis." 

So, it's not surprising that Burgess would settle on wine as a way to capitalize on fans' love of the music video.
