Add onion and saut one minute. Add the brandy and flame with a match. Add the wine and cook over high heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons of liquid. Add cream and bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Strain into a clean pan, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Keep warm.
