In 2012, Deborah discontinued her own direct importing, and now assists others with their portfolios, devoting an increasingly greater proportion of time to consulting, seminars and education. Working with distributors and other importers allows her to remain current on the industry and its evolving nature. An extensively revised 2nd edition of How To Import Wine - An Insider's Guide is due for release in 2017, drawing on this additional knowledge and experience as well as noting changes to regulations and industry standards. A second wine business book - The Exporter's Handbook to the U.S. Wine Market was released in 2015.
Deborah lives in Southern California with her husband and two precious rescued dogs.
