Grate the Gruyère and sharp cheddar cheeses and set them aside in a mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the measured wine to create a smooth slurry.
Cut a garlic clove in half and rub the inside of a fondue pot (or heavy-bottomed saucepan) with the cut sides of the garlic. Discard the garlic after rubbing.
Pour the remaining dry white wine into the pot and place it over medium heat. Heat the wine until it is warm but not boiling.
Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue stirring until the wine begins to thicken slightly.
Gradually add the grated cheeses to the pot by the handful, stirring constantly in a figure-eight motion to ensure the cheese melts evenly.
Once all the cheese is incorporated and smooth, add the lemon juice, ground nutmeg, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low to keep the fondue warm. Do not allow it to boil, as this may cause the cheese to separate.
Serve the fondue immediately with cubes of French baguette and assorted vegetables for dipping. Use skewers or fondue forks for easy dipping.
