I then uninstalled and reinstalled Wine without the exception described in the bug above. But this time I did not get the error as I did when I originally installed wine, thus negating the bug. BUT my graphics still sucked.

I did, but maybe it error'd and I didn't pay attention. I decided to go ahead and reinstall the drivers and there happen to be an minor update. So post update seems to have solved the issue.
I first uninstalled Wine, then rebooted and installed the updated NVIDIA drivers, then rebooted and installed wine again. Everything seems fine now.
