Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, and saute until mushrooms have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

Add flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in chicken broth, half-and-half, and sherry. Bring to a simmer, stirring often.
