Swiss Cheese and WIne Bread

I had coffee with a friend the other day and they were selling wine and cheese bread so when I got home I thought I would give it a try.
3 cups of flour (bread flour is better but you can use all purpose)
2 teaspoons of surgar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 stick of butter
3 eggs
2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
1/2 cup of dry white wine
1 pound of Swiss cheese (or other kind)
Mix together sugar, butter, salt and wine.   Heat slowly until it reaches 115-120 degrees and the butter is partially melted.   It is important that it does not get over or it will be too hot and kill the yeast.
Whisk together flour and yeast and then mix in wine mixture to flour  Thoroughly combine
Mix in eggs and then knead for 5 min
Cube up cheese.  I bought sliced cheese which makes it easy to cut up.  Knead in cheese and then place in a greased bowl.
Cover and place in a warm place and let rise until doubled about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down and turn into a loaf pan and let rise for about 40 min to 1 hour until doubled.
Bake at 400 for about 40 min.
Let cool and slice
