Pour white wine into pan and reduce by half over medium high heat.
Pour heavy cream into pan and reduce by half on a simmer for 4-5 minutes.
Whisk the goat cheese into the pan until incorporated. Add spinach, tarragon, lemon juice and zest to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Then remove from heat.
Fold in just enough breadcrumbs until stuffing is moist but can be formed. Cool stuffing.
Steam open clams then cool. Fill each shell with a portion of stuffing and refrigerate for service.
Warm oven to 450°F. Place stuffed clams in oven proof pan filled with red beans. The beans will stop the shells from sliding around. Cook for 6-8 minutes until thoroughly warm.
