You can find the terminal inside your Gnome menu. Open it. From here, you really only need to know two commands in order to be able to run any Wine application:

cd directoryname
wine appname.exe

For everything else you'll need a basic understanding of how things work in Linux, for example:
- Mounted disks/CDs/USB drives can be found in /media/
- Your "My Documents" directory = /home/your-username/ in Linux.
- Wine makes its own whole "installation" to install and run applications in, this can be found in /home/username/.wine/
- The short version for /home/username/ is ~/

For all other important information on using the Linux shell/terminal, I suggest you use Google, and maybe www.ubuntuforums.org. :)
