This was a superb recipe. I did have to double it, and make a few tiny alterations, like a pinch more garlic, and 1 cup heavy cream to 1 cup half & half (since I doubled) but your amount of nutmeg was spot on! (It can either make it, or break it.) In this case, it made it!
I didn't have white wine, which is generally an option, anyway, but had some champagne, so added that instead.
It was marvelous. Better than any restaurant version I have had.
Thank you.

It is certainly a keeper!
