Is Beaujolais (and Gamay) Burgundy?

[quijote]

Y'know, Bucko, this is pretty much what I figured! Also, while driving home just now, it occurred to me that Meunier also might be an important red grape of Burgundy, but I'm not sure 'bout that....

I'm not sure what to make of this. I've talked with the two guys one-on-one before, and they seem really knowledgeable; both have worked in the wine trade for quite some time.

Could it be that they said what they said in order not to "confuse" us novices with too much info? I did feel that the event was kind of "dumbed down," and one of the reasons I asked so many questions was because no one else was, and this was a tasting (and we paid for it, darnit)!

Hmm. Isn't there an emoticon with a perplexed look and a slight smirk? That's how I'm feeling about this....
