Schatzi Wines operates a more direct and focused import model, strengthening the connection between wine growers and wine drinkers. We operate with integrity and transparency, in direct collaboration with growers, to bring the best wines to the market at the best possible prices.

Schatzi is derived from German, a diminutive of schatz, a term of endearment, literally and figuratively “little treasure.” Casually, schatzi is a term meaning a close friend—someone with whom you have fun, confide in and trust.

We are dedicated to working alongside growers to bring great wines to the market. The portfolio consists of environmentally-conscious winemakers from Germany, Austria, France (Champagne, Loire, Burgundy, and Beaujolais), Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.  Collaborating closely with our growers, we can shrink margins and offer more diverse selections. This model benefits the grower, importer, distributor, wine shop, sommelier, and consumer. We will continue to grow the portfolio intimately and organically, representing wines that respect the earth and give voice to terroir—wines we care about and feel connected to.

Schatzi Wines will work with other schatzis, because life is too short to do otherwise. This applies to winemakers who understand and support our vision—who want a stronger voice regarding how their wines are represented in the United States—and to distributors, restaurants, and retailers who seek authentic, hand-crafted, terroir-driven wines at a fair price.
