Chef's Note
For the best flavor development, choose dark red or black grapes which tend to be sweeter and more complex when roasted. If you're sensitive to lactose, goat cheese is often better tolerated than cow's milk cheeses, but you can also substitute with a lactose-free cheese alternative if needed.
