In 2004, Keith Powell began a quest to know, understand and appreciate boutique wines.  A self-proclaimed wine aficionado with a mission  to "de-snob" wines, this has been a comprehensive and fun venture.  Recognizing the caliber of these boutique wines and the   passion these wine makers have for the wine they produce, Keith decided to bring attention and appreciation to those that enjoy wine.   These award winning wine makers have taken the art of handcrafted and artisan wines to a new level with wines that delight the palette!  

Keith has an eclectic menu of wines in his personal wine collection.  He knows that in order to achieve his standing dream of sharing these  great wines with other wine lovers he would have to establish his presence among these wine makers.  This has made for a noteworthy  mapping of wineries visited & to be visited on his journey across the United States.

Meanwhile, with his wife Martha and a team of travel professionals, he decided to step back into the world of travel by organizing a Wine Makers Cruise ~ The Wine Lover's Cruise.  "What better way to expose people to these great wines than to enjoy a leisurely cruise where they can enjoy special wine tastings, wine appreciation sessions and get to know these wine makers one-on-one."

Keith & Martha also are supporters of non-profits that serve the greater community and for every cruise stateroom sold, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation.
