Michel Moulherat leads an enviable life: He runs a wine store in a quiet Paris neighbourhood (in the 11th arrondisement), snuggled in near clothing manufacturers on a clean and narrow street. His shop looks like more of a trendy art gallery than what North Americans might consider a typical wine outlet, and his wines are something to be proud of, indeed.
