Classic Swiss Fondue with a Twist—Emmentaler and gruyere cheeses with carmelized shallots.
Wine: A dry crisp white perhaps? As background, the Swiss used to use Neuchatel wine in the fondue, which is described as dry, pale gold, light-bodied, lively, crisp. These days they use the most available local wine. I assume this also goes for wine to drink with the fondue.

Mixed Grill Fondue—Hot oil fondue—lamb, beef tenderloin and one other as yet to be determined meat. Side dish—potato gratin.
Wine: Something like a Burgundy—at least that’s the traditional choice—it’s open though—let’s say “red.”
