The name Schatzi Wines comes from the German word “schatzi” (SHOT-zee), meaning “little treasure” or “close friend.” This name reflects the company’s mission: to build meaningful relationships with winemakers, distributors, and consumers while delivering wines of exceptional quality and character. Founded in 2014 by Kevin Pike, in collaboration with longtime friend and esteemed German winemaker Johannes Leitz, Schatzi Wines is rooted in a vision of transparency and collaboration within the wine importing world.

After 13 years leading a large national wine sales division, Kevin Pike founded Schatzi Wines to create a more focused, relationship-driven approach to wine importing. By maintaining a small, high-quality portfolio and fostering direct communication with producers, Schatzi ensures fair pricing, reliable availability, and gives winemakers greater control over how their wines are represented in the United States. This streamlined model benefits the entire supply chain—from growers to consumers— while maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.

Cream Wine & Spirits is proud to represent Schatzi’s outstanding German selections, including Johannes Leitz’s Weingut Leitz. As the demand for alcohol-free wine continues to grow, Weingut Leitz has revolutionized the category with its innovative, high-quality offerings. These non-alcoholic wines showcase the precision and craftsmanship synonymous with traditional German winemaking. With no compromise on flavor or authenticity, these wines appeal to both traditional wine enthusiasts and those seeking alcohol-free alternatives.
