Rub an earthenware casserole or chafing dish or fondue pot with cut garlic.
Pour in wine and bring to a simmer over low heat; DO NOT BOIL. Gradually
stir in cheese bits (grated cheese tends to lump). When melted, stir in
corn starch that has been dissolved in Kirsh. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg;
stir and bring to a simmer. Keep cheese bubbling lightly over LOW heat or
it will toughen.

If it becomes too thick, add a little preheated wine. If it separates, add
One half teaspoon of corn starch dissolved in a little wine, then warm slightly.

Serve with bread cubes that guests can spear on fondue forks, then dip into
the cheese mixture. Serve a tossed salad on the side and offer fruit for
dessert. Accompany with Kirsh, neuchatel wine or beer.
