Pinot Pride and Rose Pride, the New Wine Brands from Emmy®-Nominated Actor and Musician Tituss Burgess, to Launch with a Three-Day "Taste of Tituss Pride" Celebration in NYC

NEW YORK, June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinot Pride and Rosé Pride, the new wine brands from Emmy®-nominated actor and musician Tituss Burgess, will launch with a three-day Taste of Tituss Pride celebration June 17, 18 and 20, 2016 at The OUT Hotel and 42West in New York City. The wines are now available at pbtbwine.com. The event is being produced by Jacob Langfelder with proceeds to benefit GLAAD.

With an infectious personality, lively comedic delivery, and unmatched talent, Tituss Burgess has emerged as one of the entertainment industry's most versatile and dynamic performers, with his work in television and theater generating both critical and commercial acclaim. A veteran of the stage, Burgess became a fan favorite on Tina Fey's Emmy®-winning NBC series 30 Rock, and in 2015 and 2016 he emerged as the breakout star of Netflix's award-winning comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Pinot Pride is a 2014 California Pinot Noir with lychee, kola and red fruits with hints of baking spices, wildflower honey and cacao on the nose. Flavors of red fruits are accented by wisps of cedar and leather. Rosé Pride is a refreshingly crisp 2015 California Rosé with flavors of garden-ripe strawberry, crunchy pear skin and morning dew kissing wet stone. These wines have a bright, food-friendly profile.

Tituss Burgess' wine partner is Anthony Allport, the owner of the Fine Wine Agency, Bespoke Wine Services and Fun Wine Co. Anthony has 20 years of international experience in wine retail, wholesale, import, export, marketing and private label wine production.
