  1. Grate all of the cheeses. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses with the cornstarch, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.
  2. In a stove-safe fondue pot or large heavy saucepan, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. Add the cheeses to the simmering liquid a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure a smooth fondue.
  4. Once smooth, stir in the brandy, mustard, and nutmeg.
  5. Arrange an assortment of bite-size dipping foods on a platter. If necessary, carefully pour the fondue into a fondue pot.
  6. Serve with fondue forks or wooden skewers. Dip and enjoy!
