Having spent $26 of my weekly "allowance" on cheese, I had very high expectations of Family Circle's Swiss & Gouda Fondue. It was meant to make our Valentine's meal special and to simulate dining at The Melting Pot. It turned out barely edible because I substituted dry white cooking wine for dry white wine, causing the saltiness to be through the roof! Lesson learned. This seems worth trying again, so I'll go ahead and post the recipe. Maybe next Valentine's Day...
