Bruschetta With Oven Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese image

I enjoyed this beet treat at my son's. Come taste it. This adaptation comes from Weber's Charcoal Grilling. If you use red beets, red wine vinegar vinegar is fine. The original recipe specifies golden beets but I cannot buy golden beets in northern Wisconsin so used red. The beet mixture and goat cheese mixture could be made ahead and then refrigerated. And if you cannot buy fresh beets, you could work with canned it seems.
