TL;DR
The only specific place mentioned in the messages was Gastronome, known for good beef, though steaks were quoted at around 130–150 GEL. For homemade wine, the search was for places near central Tbilisi, and for seafood, travelers were looking for dedicated seafood shops, including some found via Instagram.
For homemade wine, the key requirement was a place not far from central Tbilisi, making it easier to buy a local product without traveling across the city.
The only specific meat shop mentioned was Gastronome: it was noted as a place for good beef, including steaks, but the prices were considered high at about 130–150 GEL per steak.
For beef, the focus was specifically on grain-fed meat, meaning the search was for a higher-quality butcher or food shop rather than a standard market stall.
For seafood, the request was specifically about good dedicated seafood stores in Tbilisi rather than general supermarkets.
A couple of seafood options had already been found via Instagram, suggesting that some of the better local seafood sellers in Tbilisi operate through social media or small specialty storefronts.
