Blue cheese is an entire category of cheese including plenty of other cheeses, like Roquefort, Fourme d'Ambert, Point Reyes Blue, Bleu d'Auvergne, and Stilton, to name a few.
Gorgonzola is just one type of Italian blue cheese. It's very fashionable in recipes at the moment, but can be substituted with any other blue cheese. It's generally available in a younger, milder, creamier variety (Dolce Latte), and an older, firmer, stronger variety (Aged Gorgonzola).
