The benefit of soy bread is that it is higher in protein than wheat bread, since soy flour provides 30 to 50 grams of protein per cup, compared to 16 grams of protein per cup of wheat flour for bread.
Protein can help you control your weight because it is a filling nutrient. Another benefit is that the protein from soy is a complete protein, which means that it provides each of the essential amino acids you need from the diet.
Provides Essential Fats
A benefit of soy bread is that it provides alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Each tablespoon of ground linseed, or flaxseed, provides about 1.5 grams of alpha-linolenic acid, or more than 100 percent of the daily value. This fat may reduce your risk for sudden cardiac death, according to the Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center. Bread made with full-fat soy flour is higher in calories than soy bread from defatted flour, but it provides heart-healthy polyunsaturated omega-6 fats.

Reviews
“This Moscatel Wine has flavors that are reminiscent of the Moscatels from Setubal. It’s a rich wine that shows a hint of the spirit element, but the ripe flavors of toffee and raisin ice cream are more prominent. Drink now.” 88 pts – Roger Voss 21112012

About the Grapes (Portuguese grapes):
Touriga Nacional
Touriga Nacional is a dark-skinned grape variety that is currently very fashionable and is widely believed to produce the finest red wines of Portugal. Extensively planted in the Portugal’s northern Dao and Douro wine regions, the variety is a key ingredient in both dry red wines and the fortified wines of Oporto (Port).
In many ways, Touriga Nacional is Portugal’s answer to France’s Cabernet Sauvignon. Both varieties display bold dark-fruit flavors, often with hints of spice, leather and violet. Like Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional has firm tannins, is expressive as a varietal wine and shows great aging potential. As a blend, though, it really comes into its own, which is fortunate in Portugal where blends are de rigueur.
In Tejo: As Portugal’s most well-known grape variety, it has made a nice home for itself in the Tejo region. Producing wines with high tannins, full body and flavors like dark berries, plums and purple flowers, the grape thrives in southern Portugal’s warm climate.
Gewürztraminer
Gewürztraminer is a pink-skinned grape variety that produces some of the most distinctively aromatic wines in the world, in an intense style that polarizes people. Ardent fans of Gewürztraminer adore its highly perfumed scents and slightly spicy flavors, while its detractors lament its lack of acid and obvious fruit tones. Few, however, would deny Gewürztraminer’s presence on the olfactory radar.
Literally translated, Gewürztraminer means “spiced Traminer” (Traminer Aromatico in Italian), in reference to the grape’s heritage as a mutation of the Traminer family of grapes. Up until 1870 Gewurztraminer was simply known as Traminer in Alsace, and even until the 1970s both Traminer and Gewurztraminer were used to describe the same grapes. Winemakers of this time can easily be forgiven though, for the Traminer family is notorious for its genetic instability.
The best examples of Gewürztraminer are generally regarded as being from the Grand Cru vineyards of Alsace. It could even be argued that Alsace is the spiritual home of Gewürztraminer, despite the fact that it is not its ancestral home and Gewürztraminer accounts for less than one-fifth of vineyard area in the region.
The primary aromatic descriptors used to define Gewürztraminer are typically lychee, rose petal, Turkish delight and perfume. On the palate it is marked by its full texture, low acidity, stone fruit (mango, peach and apricot) and spicy (ginger and cinnamon) flavors.
