Forgot to mention, use wine start "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" in order to get WINE to read Steam like it's from the C drive. You must place the "start" parameter between the call to the wine binary and the C:\ drive path.

2. You may think it'd be clever to symlink or something. Do NOT do this. Newer Valve games like LFD2 and Portal 2 choke to death if the folder used to access the game doesn't have certain likeable attributes (unsure what these are). A symbolic link will not fix anything, you will continue to get the same errors. You must move the Steam and steamapps folders into that path for real in order to launch.

It's really clever coz it's working for me. Sure if u mean what Steam folder can't be a symlink u'r right (was tested this). I'm using symbolic links on steamapps folder and all works fine(Portal 2 etc).
