(MarketWatch) — Kenzo Tsujimoto, a Japanese video game magnate who aims to build a premium wine brand in Napa Valley wine country, comes across as an easy-going man who likes to crack a joke or two.
At 71, Kenzo, speaking through a translator, jokes that he only drinks his own wine because it “doesn’t give him a hangover.” And since his wines aren’t cheap, even he is “going to need a raise.”

He also makes a Sauvignon Blanc and a Rose.
