Wanting to make a special breat for this Valentine day and I stumbled upon Susan's blog.

I read her Bread of Love posting and thought that today was excellent to bake this bread. It was the first time I used a soaker containing read wine. Also never put pine nuts into a loaf, nor figs. But the result was excellent. Great sweet, crunchy texture, dense and moist too. I love it! Susan, if you read this, thank you for the inspiration. I really love the loaf. Thanks!
