Vineyard owner sued by Vegas execs

A South Island vineyard owner, patron of the arts, and former casino boss is being sued for $3.5 million by two wealthy Las Vegas executives. Glenn Schaeffer owns Nelson’s Mahana Estates and earlier this month hosted Prince Charles and his wife Camilla at the winery. The day before the royal visit, Schaeffer failed to dismiss a lawsuit brought against him in the Nelson High Court by James Murren and Daniel Lee.
