2/3 cup dry white wine
4 cups (1 pound) shredded Fontina cheese
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded GruyEre cheese
2 teaspoons cornstarch

In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until it becomes golden brown around the edges. Be careful not to overcook the garlic, or it will become bitter. Add the wine.
