1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees .

4. Cook the spinach over high heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 7 minutes.
5. Transfer the spinach to a strainer set over a large bowl to drain.
6. Let the cooked spinach cool slightly, then squeeze out all of the excess water from the leaves.
7. Wipe out the saucepan, then use it to melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
8. Add the shallots and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
9. Add the white wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed, about 3 minutes.
