Superb Cheese Fondue

Directions

1. 1
   Toss the grated cheese with the flour in a bowl.
2. 2
   Set aside.
3. 3
   Rub a 2 quart pan with garlic.
4. 4
   Over medium to medium-high heat, melt the butter, add chives and saute for 1 minute.
5. 5
   Add wine [I have gotten the best results with Fish Eye pinot grigio] and bring just to boiling point - but DO NOT BOIL.
6. 6
   Keeping this just below simmering, add the grated cheese slowly by small handfuls.
7. 7
   Stir in 1 direction continuously as each handful melts into the liquid.
8. 8
   If the mixture should look like it's starting to boil, simply take the pot off the heat for a minute or so.
9. 9
   After all the cheese is melted, remove pot from heat.
10. 10
    Add salt and pepper and just 3 strokes or so (a dash) of freshly grated nutmeg.
11. 11
    Add kirsch and serve immediately with cubed bread.
12. 12
    Tips: the chives can be omitted; swiss cheese can be substituted but it is MUCH less tasty - use the best quality cheese that you can find; you can also use any bread that's handy.
