Slit open the chiles and remove the stems and seeds. Soak the chiles in boiling water to cover for 30 minutes. Remove from the bowl, puree in a blender with a little of the soaking liquid, and set aside.
Combine the cream, wine, and garlic in a saucepan and reduce by half. Add the chile puree and seasonings and mix thoroughly.
