Do you have a Sunday wine dinner tradition?

Just wondering if any of you have what might be termed a "Sunday wine dinner tradition": cooking something special and enjoying a good, and maybe exceptional, bottle of a favourite wine.
Weekends are when I normally plan such dinners, and they tend to be a weekly ritual that can involve having friends over, though it needn't be that way. Sometimes a good wine and a good CD are plenty to create the right atmosphere.
I usually plan such dinners a few days before so as to buy the necessary ingredients. To me, cooking at home has never been viewed as a chore - something to do out of an "Oh, gawd, I have to get this done" sort of way, but as an actually enjoyable thing that I want to do.
Any of you do something like this?
