About Ployez Winery

Gerald Ployez grew up in France's Champagne region, where his family enjoyed three generations of successful Champagne production, before he and his wife Shirley established their own small winery just south of Lower Lake. Backed by formal enology degrees from French universities, Gerald made Ployez the area's specialist in méthode Champenoise sparkling wine, alongside still bottlings and rarities for the region like Chenin Blanc.

The modest wood-sided winery and tasting room played a quiet supporting role in Lake County wine history: legendary winemaker Jed Steele made the first vintages of his Steele Wines here in the early 1990s before buying his own facility. Listings indicate Ployez Winery has since closed, so treat this page as a historical record and verify any current operations directly.

Champagne-born Gerald Ployez's Lower Lake sparkling house, where Jed Steele quietly made his first Steele Wines vintages; now closed per listings.
