Method

Place cheese in a bowl; sprinkle with flour, mix lightly. 

Split garlic and rub inside fondue pot vigorously then discard garlic. 

Pour wine into pot and place over medium low heat until bubbles start to form and rise to the surface. DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL. 

Add cheese by handfuls, steadily stirring with wood spoon until cheese is melted. Melt each handful of cheese before you add another. After all cheese is melted and mixture begins to bubble, add salt, pepper, and nutmeg until blended.
