"Poizen" Ivy Hover can always find the time to savor a libation, although she prefers a well-crafted classic to the latest trendy concoction. A food and drink enthusiast, she enjoys road tripping to Willamette Valley wineries, visiting Portland brew pubs and sampling locally produced spirits. If she only had one goal, it would be to revive the fine art of the cocktail, but she also loves sipping whiskey and playing pinball in a gritty dive bar.
An arts and entertainment veteran, she spent the past 20 years basking in the neon glow of Las Vegas while working as a journalist, graphic designer, publicist, bartender, production coordinator and online entrepreneur. She continues to critique music for the alt-weekly newspaper Las Vegas CityLife, even after returning to her home state of Oregon.
