(Redfin) - Rosé is every bit as complex and sophisticated as its red and white cousins, so it’s no wonder that both rosé enthusiasts and brand-new bandwagoners are turning to wine experts for help in pinning down their go-to summertime sip.

Based on our tabulations of these connoisseurs’ favorite wine bars, plus over 350 phone calls to wine bars to determine their selection, we’ve identified the best cities in the country for exploring rosé! We included each city’s Walk Score to give you an idea of how easy it is to stroll from bar to bar, and median home sale price to help you assess cost of living.

Rosé is best enjoyed chilled, among good conversation and company — and of course, with a safe ride home lined up! Here are the best cities for rosé lovers:

1. New York, NY

Walk Score: 89
Median Home Sale Price: $900,000

Native New Yorkers will tell you that there are few things more perfect than a summer’s day in NYC — but even the most memorable day in the Empire State would get an instant boost with a refreshing glass of rosé. There are wine bars sprinkled throughout the city, many of which boast awe-inspiring selections of rosé.

We recommend: Instead of taking a bite out of the Big Apple, take a sip of it instead with a pinot noir rosé that has subtle flavors of crabapple and watermelon. It’s an elegant option that has a bit of an edge — much like New York itself.

Notable wine bars: Aldo Sohm Wine Bar, Buvette Gastrotheque, Charlie Bird, Corkbuzz Wine Studio, Daniel, Donostia, Eleven Madison Park, The Four Horsemen, Gabriel Kreuther, Gramercy Tavern, Hearth, i Trulli, June, Kaia Wine Bar, La Compagnie Des Vins Surnaturels, Le Bernardin, Lelabar, Marta, Molyvos, Momofuku Ko, Peasant, Rebelle, The Ten Bells, Terroir, Wallse, Wildair

 2. New Orleans, LA

Walk Score: 58
Median Home Sale Price: $319,000

The Big Easy may be famous for Bourbon Street, but with the dozens of options available to wine lovers across all of the city’s wine bars, Rosé Avenue may as well be on the map, too. Perhaps the best part about enjoying a glass of wine in New Orleans is being able to sip it while taking in a live jazz performance and truly soaking up the culture of this historic, colorful city.

We recommend: Grenache rosé is as bold as New Orleans with its deep red hue and notes of allspice — perfect for pairing with a zesty Cajun dish like jambalaya.

Notable wine bars: Bacchanal Wine, Brennan’s, Commander’s Palace, Patrick’s Bar Vin

3. San Francisco, CA

Walk Score: 86
Median Home Sale Price: $1,250,000

An artistic community like San Francisco is bound to be full of muses, and rosé seems to be one of its favorites. Better yet, it’s also an artistic expression in the Golden City: some wine bars, like the Liholiho Yacht Club, make and serve their own in-house spin on rosé.

We recommend: Zinfandel rosé, which is also known as White Zinfandel, is a sweet crowd pleaser that’s versatile enough to be enjoyed across the city’s many attractions, whether you’re touring the local wine country or soaking up some sun on the beach.

Notable wine bars: 20 Spot, A16 Restaurant & Wine Bar, Amelie Le Bar a Vin, Aquitaine Wine Bistro, Bar Bambino, The Barrel Room, Coi, Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant, Fig & Thistle, The Hidden Vine, High Treason, Hotel Biron Wine Bar & Art Gallery, Liholiho Yacht Club, Press Club, Terroir Natural Wine Bar & Merchant, Union Larder, Wine Kitchen

4. Dallas, TX

Walk Score: 46
Median Home Sale Price: $461,000

Summer temperatures in Dallas can peak over 100 degrees in the summer, so enjoying a glass of rosé is a natural fit for a warm evening watching the sun set over the Lone Star State. Cowboys and cowgirls can treat themselves to rosé from across the world, and even wines bottled right in Dallas.

We recommend: Everything’s bigger in Texas, so go for it with the bold, unique flavor of Tempranillo rosé, which has an eclectic mix of fruity and spicy notes — an exciting complement to a complex Tex-Mex or classic ribeye steak dinner.

Notable wine bars: The Alcove, Cork, Crú Food & Wine Bar, FT33, Mercy Wine Bar, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Stoney’s Wine Lounge, Times Ten Cellars, Veritas Wine Room, Whitehall Exchange

5. Washington, D.C.

Walk Score: 77
Median Home Sale Price: $595,000

Washington, D.C., has a bit of a no-nonsense reputation — after all, it is where our nation’s leaders make huge decisions. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of fun to be had in D.C.! Between the area’s specialty wine bars and world-famous restaurants, wine connoisseurs can treat themselves to rosé by the glass, bottle or even flight.

We recommend: D.C. is a melting pot that hosts decision makers from all over the world, so drinking a rosé that’s a motley of other wines seems only fitting. Provence rosé blends three to four rosés per bottle, and its crisp, fruity flavor satisfies just about every palate.

Notable wine bars: Acacia Bistro & Wine Bar, Bistrot Lepic & Wine Bar, Cork Wine Bar, ENO Wine Bar, Fiola Di Fabio Trabocchi, Iron Gate, Kinship, Le Chat Noir Restaurant Français & Wine Lounge, Proof, Slate Wine Bar + Bistro, Sonoma Restaurant & Wine Bar, Urbana Restaurant & Wine Bar, Vinoteca
