Winecream

Inside Suite 4E is what happens when people start drinking and, basically, don’t want to stop.

Winecream, the boozy ice cream company and family business that inhabits the space, was created in 2012 when its managing member Katie Gorham, 29, her husband, brother and parents refused to turn in their wine glasses for dessert on Christmas Day. They wanted to keep drinking, and so they combined the two, mixing wine with ice cream.

“It started more as a wine float,” said Gorham, but with her background in microbiology and her brother’s in fire protection engineering, they knew they could perfect the recipe using liquid nitrogen to flash-freeze the combination into a frozen dessert.

That night, the family, while still imbibing, incorporated their business online.

A few years later, the company sells ready-made pints of Winecream, each roughly equivalent to the potency of a half-bottle of wine, online and in a few retailers in the region for $15, and operates in the Cambridge Building, where they house their winery, dairy and tasting room.

There, Winecream conducts hour-long tours, introducing guests to the Cambridge Building’s history and various businesses, before inviting them to the tasting room where they sample an assortment of flavors, including chocolate-covered strawberry, peach cobbler and mango, a new favorite, Gorham said.

Guests also create their own flavor combinations, choosing their favorite fruit
