The Five Rosés To Drink in the Big Apple (and where to drink them)

Located right on the border of the Chelsea neighborhood in artsy West Village, you will find the Stein Rosé Trocken 2016 at Anfora -- whose name references the ancient Greco and Roman technique of storing and transporting wine. "People love this easy-going wine because it has some fruit, but it is still dry and crisp," says Anfora bartender, David Foss, about this affordable gem from Mosul, Germany. "A little raspberry, a little strawberry, plus some minerality and acidity."

Escape the bustle in New York's Herald Square at Stella 34, a trattoria and bar on the 6th floor of the Macy’s. Have an aperitivo, enjoy views of the Empire State Building and sip on a Tormaresca 'Calafuria' Rosata -- a rosé from the elusive Negro Amaro grape in Salento, an emerging wine region in the heel of Italy's boot.

"I've visited this winery in the Drama region of Northern Greece and broke bread with this new winery's talented winemaker, Nikos Karatzas," says Jason Corey, owner of The Immigrant, a laid-back wine bar in New York's East Village where you can buy Oenops Aplá Dry Rosé 2016. "This Xinomavro and Cabernet Savignon blend pairs perfectly with Mediterranean food, as well as salads, and even better with pizza."

"Champagne is festive, romantic and sexy, and a rosé takes it up a notch," says Sebastien Auvet, co-founder of Vin Sur Vingt – a French inspired wine bar in the Nomad District where you can find Ayala Rosé NV Brut Champagne. "Ayala has freshness along with red fruits that complement each other nicely. It pairs beautifully with a filet of salmon, any lamb dishes or a fruit tart for an upscale ending to a meal."

Located in the picturesque Grand Central Terminal in Midtown, you can find the Château Saint-Maur L'Excellence 2016. "This well-bred and flavorful dry rosé from Provence has exotic aromas and some mineral notes," enthuses sommelier Frank Botta of the Grand Central Oyster Bar. "It’s an elegant and delicate wine, well-balanced and structured, which make it easy to pair with food or even sip by itself. It is my favorite pick so far."
