Just as the quantity is up this
year, so is the quality. In fact the sheer number of outstanding lists
prompted a new innovation for this year's guide. Scattered throughout
the AA Restaurant Guide 2009 you will find a number of special awards
recognising lists that are remarkable in a particular respect. Be
it the coverage of a particular region or simply the excellence of
the presentation, these are the lists that deserve special recognition. |
| For the second round of judging, we
once again turned to the thorny subject of matching wine with food.
Something of an art,the panel agreed that the secret is to look at
the meal as a whole rather than tackling each dish in isolation. |

Although there
can be no hard and fast rule for such a subjective task some useful
guidelines were applicable.
- Light wines before heavy
- Young wines before old
- White before red
- Simplicity before complexity
- Match the wine to the sauce
