  Meanwhile, make the Mustard Cream Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, mustard and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until mixture has thickened and is reduced by about half. Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
