When you write mint in indigents (not only as garnish) it means we can add mint in sheaker (for muddling)?

Yes, but with good ice, the action of hard shaking breaks up and pulverises the mint, so muddling is arguably unnecessary. However, I like to gently bruise the mint in the base of the shaker before adding other ingredients to give the mint more time to infuse.

If I don't have wine on hand can I sub an amt of Dolin Blanc?

The vinous acidity (which balances the creme de menthe) and the grassy notes of sauvignon blanc are key to this cocktail.
