Mix the Brie and cornstarch together in a bowl. Bring the wine, mustard, and shallots to a boil in a sauce pan. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium high and slowly stir in the cheese and crab. Stir for about 5 minutes, until the flavors develop and the alcohol cooks away.
