Emmett Causey Brings Wine, Culture, and Conversation to Mood Magazine

Wine has always been about more than what is in the glass.

It is history. It is agriculture. It is craftsmanship. It is conversation. It is celebration. And increasingly, it is an important part of the cultural story being told by a new generation of wine lovers, collectors, makers, and entrepreneurs.

That conversation now has a new home at Mood Magazine NYC.

We are proud to introduce Emmett Causey as Mood Magazine’s Wine Editor and the voice behind his new column, “Wine All About It.”

Causey brings his knowledge, curiosity, and appreciation for wine to Mood as we expand our coverage of food, culture, hospitality, travel, and the people shaping the modern wine experience.

WINE ALL ABOUT IT

Through “Wine All About It,” Causey will take readers beyond the bottle.

The column will explore the world of wine through stories, discoveries, personalities, experiences, and conversations. It is an invitation to learn about wine without feeling intimidated by it.

Because wine does not have to belong to a select few.

It belongs at the dinner table.

It belongs at celebrations.

It belongs in conversation.

And it belongs in Harlem.

That philosophy fits naturally into Mood Magazine’s larger mission of making culture more tangible and accessible while connecting Harlem to the world.

Causey’s column will give readers another reason to explore the world of wine while discovering the people and stories behind it.

WINE ALL YOU WANT

The column will also extend beyond the pages of Mood Magazine through Wine All You Want, an upcoming series of wine events designed to bring people together around the bottle and the conversation.

These events will create an opportunity for readers, wine enthusiasts, curious newcomers, hospitality professionals, and members of the Harlem community to experience wine in person.

Wine All You Want is about discovery.

Taste something new.

Meet someone new.

Learn something new.

Ask questions.

Start a conversation.

And, most importantly, enjoy the experience.

The events will become another part of the growing Mood cultural calendar, connecting editorial storytelling with real-world experiences.

HEAR EMMETT ON WHRL MOOD RADIO

The conversation does not stop with the magazine.

Every Thursday at 5:00 PM, Emmett Causey takes his wine expertise to the airwaves with his weekly show on WHRL Mood Radio.

The program gives listeners another way to experience Causey’s perspective and brings the world of wine directly into Mood’s 24/7 radio ecosystem.

Tune in Thursday afternoons for wine, conversation, discovery, and stories from the world of wine.

For Mood, this is what a modern media ecosystem should look like.

You can read about wine in Mood Magazine.

You can experience wine at Wine All You Want.

And you can listen to Emmett Causey on WHRL Mood Radio.

One voice.

Three experiences.

One growing conversation.

WINE MEETS HARLEM

Causey’s arrival also comes at an exciting moment for Harlem.

As the Harlem Renaissance Rebirth continues to connect culture, tourism, hospitality, food, arts, business, and community, wine becomes another way to invite people into the experience.

Harlem has a rich tradition of gathering around food and conversation.

Wine can become part of that story.

It can bring together restaurants, retailers, winemakers, collectors, travelers, artists, and curious newcomers.

It can create new partnerships.

It can introduce people to Black-owned wine brands and entrepreneurs.

And it can give visitors another reason to experience Harlem beyond the traditional tourism itinerary.

That is exactly the kind of cultural connection Mood Magazine wants to explore.

A NEW VOICE FOR MOOD

As Wine Editor, Emmett Causey becomes part of Mood’s expanding editorial team and its commitment to covering the full spectrum of contemporary Harlem life.

Fashion.

Food.

Travel.

Arts.

Music.

Culture.

Wellness.

Wine.

The goal is not simply to tell readers what is happening.

It is to invite them into the experience.

Causey’s “Wine All About It” column gives Mood readers a new lens through which to understand wine, while Wine All You Want brings that conversation into the community and his Thursday 5:00 PM WHRL Mood Radio show takes it to listeners around the world.

That is the Mood way.

Read it. Hear it. Taste it. Experience it.

STAY IN THE MOOD

Welcome to Mood, Emmett Causey.

Welcome to “Wine All About It.”

Join us for Wine All You Want.

And every Thursday at 5:00 PM, tune in to WHRL Mood Radio.

Because wine is not just something you drink.

It is something you experience.

Wine All About It.

Wine All You Want.

Only in the Mood.
