  2. Add 2 finely chopped shallots and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of cold butter until smooth and creamy.
  7. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove any solids.
