"I would wholeheartedly endorse anyone's decision to employ Deborah Gray to do business in the U.S. on their behalf. As the National Sales Director for Torbreck Vintners, a premium Barossa Valley winery, I was able to rest assured that all aspects of the job we had contracted with Deborah's company were being handled with the utmost attention and professionalism. With Deborah's indisputable knowledge of the U.S. three tier distribution system, I never needed to wonder if all was under control. I honestly cannot make enough positive statements about our business relationship with Deborah and if the occasion were to present itself, I would not hesitate to rely on her again."

"I have been in the fortunate position of working with Deborah Gray over the past 6 years with two separate wine brands into the USA. I have found her ability to place product, market a brand and relate the story of the vineyard to the distribution channels a huge bonus in getting traction for both of the brands I have been involved with.
Her relationships with the marketplace can only be attributed to her amazing ability to continually service those channels, ensuring a level of brand success that would not normally be possible. It is a real privilege to work closely with someone like Deborah when you are new to the US wine market and I am sure that anyone who embarks upon working with Deborah will reap great rewards."
