Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the wine, then place a fork inside the metal bowl.

Step 5

Add the chopped garlic, then stir with the fork to incorporate the ingredients.

Step 6

Add 1/3 of the cheese and mix thoroughly using the fork.

Step 7

Add the next 1/3 of the cheese and mix thoroughly using the fork.

Step 8

Add the remaining 1/3 of cheese and mix thoroughly until all the cheese is melted and incorporated, using a whipping motion to fluff up the cheese.

Step 9

Add one full squeeze from the lemon and the pepper and nutmeg. Fold and stir with the fork to combine.

Serve with artisan breads, seasonal vegetables, apple slices and charcuterie for dipping.
