     1/2  cup           white wine
   1      tablespoon    finely chopped shallots or scallions
     1/2  teaspoon      chopped fresh tarragon (to taste)

Combine wine, shallots and tarragon, and cook until wine is reduced to a
mere glaze. Combine glaze with egg yolks and salt in blender. Heat butter
until bubbling hot. Turn blender on and off once quickly to blend
