Show Case Wines & Liquors on Ronkonkoma Avenue in Lake Ronkonkoma will be carrying a brand new line of vodka thanks to a distribution deal with Yaphank-based Clare Rose Inc. 

Clare Rose agreed to distribute Lucky Dog Vodka, a new product based on Nantucket Island. Lucky Dog's president is Greg Nichols, a former U.S. Ski Team member. Lucky Dog was recently awarded the Gold Medal of the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition, according to a release. 

The cost? A 750ml bottle runs at about $22.
