3. Transfer mixture to a double boiler or fondue pot to keep warm while serving.

Recommendations:
Add the milk last, so that it doesn’t curdle.
A bit of lemon juice helps with the stringiness of the cheese
Instead of wine, use beer for a ‘beer’ fondue
Artichoke hearts or salsa could be added for a different flavor
