I was out the other day and found evidence of "commercial harvesting". It looked like a tractor had gone through. There was NO effort to replace the duff layer that was scraped back. Harvesting of this manner is not sustainable. Great truffle patches will be reduced to unproductive wastelands in no time if people don't do it right. By the way, if you really want to hunt truffles in an appropriate manner, get a truffle dog or a pig. A well trained truffle dog will take you precisely to where the ripe ones are. Truffle hunters,

Your reverence (as opposed to condescension) for Oregon is so delightfully refreshing. Great article - I learned so much!

Great writing..good thing I read it on a full stomach. Otherwise, I would be at the airport buying a ticket to Dayton, Oregon. So now, let's see, we have a partial meal of a good cup of medium roast coffee and porcini risotto with fresh Oregon white truffles.....but don't stop there. Can't wait to see what's next on the literary, as well as culinary, menu! Perhaps some wildcrafted spring dandelions, sauteed lightly in olive oil, garnished with Columbia river lavender violets?

Not a word was said about where those pinot noir grapes were grown. Nancy, wonderful piece as usual. Patrick, you might want to re-read the quotation.

Most truffle articles are either too clinical and scientific, or too fluffy and just focus on the food aspect. Nancy deftly weaves a whole bunch of topics together to make this one interesting read indeed. I felt like I was riding in the back seat of that Subaru and peeking over the author's shoulder while she dug in the dirt and mud for that elusive Oregon gold. Really captures something unique about Oregon inlcuding Czarnecki, who is a total character. More please! I agree, fantastic article.

The greatest Pinot Noirs come from Carneros, or the Russian River Valley, or perhaps even the Santa Lucia Highlands, but they assuredly do not come from Oregon.
