Crossword Genius

Dandy Joseph with Lisa blending wine (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beaujolais

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wine' is the definition.
(Beaujolais is an example)

'dandy joseph with lisa blending' is the wordplay.
'dandy' becomes 'beau' (synonyms).
'joseph with' becomes 'jo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'blending' indicates anagramming the letters (letters blended or mixed into a new form).
'lisa' is an anagram of 'lais'.
'beau'+'jo'+'lais'='BEAUJOLAIS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beaujolais that I've seen before include "drink" , "Light red wine from south-east France" , "French light red wine" , "Burgundy wine" .)
