Comté cheese fondue (fondue au comté)

Comté cheese is a hard cow's milk cheese, so named after the region in which it is produced. To take the stakes to truly decadent, try melting it down and combining with a delicious chardonnay for dipping pieces of crusty bread. You will need a good-size fondue pot for this recipe.
