In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.

Add garlic and shallots; reduce heat to medium-low and cook until very soft, about 10 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until onions are very soft and are starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Increase heat and stir in wine; cook, stirring, until liquid is evaporated.

In bowl, beat cream cheese; beat in sour cream until smooth. Stir in cooked onions, mustard, celery salt and cayenne. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. (The dip can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature to serve.)

Transfer to serving dish. Garnish with chives.
