Heat wine in a large saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles rise to the surface.
Just before wine boils, reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese mixture, a little at a time, stirring constantly, and make sure the cheese is melted before adding more.
Stir until mixture bubbles gently.
Stir in milk, kirsch or sherry, nutmeg, and pepper. Transfer cheese mixture to a fondue pot.
Keep mixture bubbling gently over a fondue burner.
Serve with dippers.
If mixture becomes too thick, stir in a little warm milk. Serves 12.
**Note:
To toast bread cubes, place the cubes on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree F oven 5 to 7 minutes or until the bread cubes are crisp and toasted.
