For the past four years, between the months of December and March, Seth Angerer has walked through his family's orchard in Geyserville, hoping for a miracle.

After nine years and millions invested in trying, a family has grown the first-ever black truffle to sprout in Geyserville, and these Sonoma County truffles may soon be a mainstay in northern California fine dining.
